This article makes two arguments. First, that advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) have created multiple parallel flows of consumption that allow us to be productive continuously, in the sense of generating value for the economy. Second, the struggle over social time poses emergent challenges for planning and urban design. After introducing the relevant themes, this article explains how value is derived from labour and the process through which time is made economically productive. Next, it is posited that advanced ICTs, especially mobile devices and associated services, create possibilities for multiple flows of time, freeing consumption from territorial and temporal restrictions, and opening up new forms of labour. This discussion elicits some concerns for those interested in communities and urban space. The article concludes with suggestions for adopting a socio-spatial-temporal outlook to urban planning and design, including designing ‘polyrhythmic’ places and planning for public time.

连续生产与新型劳动：以重新利用公共时间为例

本文提出两个论点。首先，先进的信息和通信技术（ICT）创造了多种并行的消费流，从我们为经济创造价值的意义上讲，它们使我们能够持续不断地进行生产。其次，在社会时间上的斗争对规划和城市设计提出了新的挑战。在介绍了相关主题之后，本文将解释如何从劳动力中获得价值以及使时间变得经济生产的过程。接下来，假设先进的ICT，尤其是移动设备和相关服务，为多种时间流，从地域和时间限制中解放出来的消费以及开放新的劳动形式创造了可能性。讨论引起了对社区和城市空间感兴趣的人们的关注。
