Explanation: Splintering urbanism is a term proposed by geographers Steven Graham and Simon Marvin to refer to the ways in which resources and infrastructures, including information and communication technologies, can separate or differentiate the experience of the city.

Splintering Urbanism makes an indepth analysis of the complex interactions between infrastructure networks found in urban spaces. It creates a different perspective of understanding urban change, bringing together discussions about: globalization and the city, how technology is affecting the society, urban space and networks as well as infrastructure and its effect on the built environment.

It basically talks about the differences infrastructure has on the economy of different parts of the same city.
