There have been numerous possible scenarios depicted on the impact
of the internet on urban spaces. Considering ubiquitous/pervasive
computing, mobile, wireless connectivity and the acceptance of the
Internet as a non-extraordinary part of our everyday lives mean
that physical urban space is augmented, and digital in itself. This
poses new problems as well as opportunities to those who have to
deal with it. This book explores the intersection and articulation
of physical and digital environments and the ways they can extend
and reshape a spirit of place. It considers this from three main
perspectives: the implications for the public sphere and urban
public or semi-public spaces; the implications for community
regeneration and empowerment; and the dilemmas and challenges which
the augmentation of space implies for urbanists. Grounded with
international real -life case studies, this is an up-to-date,
interdisciplinary and holistic overview of the relationships
between cities, communities and high technologies.
