Gig Cities was a project supported by the Australian Research Council and the University of Melbourne that is investigating how the rapid rise of the ‘gig’ economy for moving people, goods and services is transforming Australian cities. Using Melbourne as a case study, using in-depth qualitative interviews, the project explores and seeks to understand how the positive and negative dimensions and geographically uneven impacts of gig work platforms are affecting workers, customers and industries.
