The Internet, participation, urban screens and media-architecture are transforming the town into an informational city and media city. A debate on how architecture and urban planning are changing their approach to sustainability, seeking sustainable models in design, planning and construction.
Social networks, wi-fi spots, urban screens, portable media, locative media… the contemporary metropolis is criss-crossed with interconnected communication flows. With all this actively mapped, the citizen is a user able to observe and participate, but also a user that is observed at the same time.
A reflection on appropriation, surveillance, and ‘bottom-up’ planning and new social media spaces, and how the contemporary metropolis, new media and new technologies are compelling us to rethink the role of communications and information, usability and space, between the public and the private, the real and the virtual.
