Abstract
This paper will explore which roles city governments can take up in the context of the ongoing platformisation of the mobile services industry. It takes an experimental approach by a applying an existing typology for mobile service platforms to the context of the city, combined with an analysis of real-life examples. The paper identifies four City Platform types of which two appear more likely than the others and forms a starting point for research into platform strategies in the context of the city.
