N2 - In cities like Berlin new time inequities are shaped by the continuous expansion of digitally organized platform labour ("gig work"). While some work under high temporal pressure in the gig economy sector in order to satisfy the basic needs of city dwellers and thus allow them time for other needs and activities, gig workers themselves lack the time sometimes even to sleep or rest. The chapter shows in what way these workers experience the digitally shaped night. Services, offered for example by food delivery services or electric mobility providers, are transforming urban space and therefore the night in "smart cities," such as Berlin.
