Cities have long been recognized as key sites for fostering new
communication practices. However, as contemporary cities experience
major changes, how do diverse inhabitants encounter each other? How
do cities remember? What is the role of the built environment in
fostering sites for public communication in a digital era?
Communicative Cities and Urban Space offers a critical analysis of
contemporary changes in the relation between urban space and
communication. This volume seeks to understand the situatedness of
contemporary communication practices in diverse contexts of urban
life, and to explore digitized urban space as a historically
specific communicative environment. The essays in this book
collectively propose that the concept of the 'communicative city'
is a productive frame for rethinking the above questions in the
context of 21st-century 'media cities'. They challenge us to
reconsider qualities such as openness, autonomy and diversity in
contemporary urban communication practices, and to identify factors
that might expand or constrict communicative possibilities.
Students and scholars of communication studies and urban studies
would benefit from this book.
