These hybrid formations are neither corporate platforms nor platform cooperatives, but community-governed systems built from accessible consumer technologies and pre-existing social networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBringing together platform studies, digital sociology, urban studies and science and technology studies, \u003cem\u003eCreole Platforms\u003c\/em\u003e traces how platform governance emerges from below in Bogotá and compares these dynamics with platform adaptation in Nairobi, Kenya and Jakarta, Indonesia. The analysis highlights digital hybridisation, epistemic infrastructure and urban informality as central to understanding platform economies in the Global South. It also considers the policy implications of hybrid platform governance and connects the findings to wider debates on AI governance and community-based knowledge systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange TrackChangeHoverSelectColorRed SCXW159558933 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW159558933 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun TrackChangeHoverSelectHighlightRed SCXW159558933 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuis Lozano-Paredes\u003c\/strong\u003e is Lecturer at the Transdisciplinary School, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia.
