The focus of this book is on understanding and explaining the way
that our increasingly networked world impacts on the legibility of
cities; that is how we experience and inhabit urban space. It
reflects on the nature of the spatial effects of the networked and
mediated world; from mobile phones and satnavs to data centres and
wifi nodes and discusses how these change the very nature of urban
space. It proposes that netspaces are the spaces that emerge at the
interchange between the built world and the space of the network.
It aims to be a timely volume for both architectural, urban design
and media practitioners in understanding and working with the
fundamental changes in built space due to the ubiquity of networks
and media. This book argues that there needs to be a much better
understanding of how networks affect the way we inhabit urban
space. The volume defines five characteristics of netspaces and
defines in detail the way that the spatial form of the city is
affected by changing practices of networked world. It draws on
theoretical approaches and contextualises the discussion with
empirical case studies to illustrate the changes taking place in
urban space. This readable and engaging text will be a valuable
resource for architects, urban designers, planners and sociologists
for understanding how of networks and media are creating
significant changes to urban space and the resulting implications
for the design of cities.
