Space is often produced digitally before it is produced physically. This article investigates how the right to the city can be broadened to include the appropriation of digital spaces to produce ‘lived’ transportation spaces. Focussing on mobilisation against highway expansion in Dallas, Texas, we ask the following: (1) what are the mechanisms through which space is conceived, perceived, and lived through the lens of mobility justice; (2) how might claims for technical information challenge dominant transportation policies and projects; and (3) how might participants inhabit digital spaces? We conduct a qualitative analysis of transportation planning narratives, visualisations, and public comments in three documents: the Dallas City Center Master Assessment Process, Coalition for a New Dallas’ I-345/45 Framework Plan, and public survey data regarding proposed highway changes ( n = 1241). Findings demonstrate how residents challenge transportation ‘needs’ as often determined in conceptual planning spaces. Further, technologies can be appropriated to produce differential spaces, which can alter the trajectory of highway projects. Challenging the legitimacy of institutionalised knowledge through the appropriation and production of digital spaces forms part of a larger claim to the right of the city.

居住数字空间：城市的信息权以实现流动正义

空间通常先以数字方式产生，然后再以物理方式产生。本文探讨了如何扩大城市权，以包括利用数字空间来产生“生活”交通空间。针对德克萨斯州达拉斯市针对高速公路扩建的动员行动，我们提出以下问题：（1）通过流动正义的视角来构想、感知和生活空间的机制是什么？ (2) 技术信息主张如何挑战主导交通政策和项目； （3）参与者如何居住在数字空间中？我们对三份文件中的交通规划叙述、可视化和公众评论进行了定性分析：达拉斯市中心总体评估流程、新达拉斯 I-345/45 框架计划联盟以及有关拟议高速公路变更的公众调查数据（ n = 1241）。研究结果表明，居民如何挑战概念规划空间中经常确定的交通“需求”。此外，可以利用技术来产生差异空间，从而改变高速公路项目的轨迹。通过数字空间的挪用和生产来挑战制度化知识的合法性，是对城市权利更大主张的一部分。
