Digital Technologies’ implementation on urban design



ABSTRACT

Investigation of the changes of urban design taking place as a result of pervasive digital technology. Specifically, how digital technologies can change the way of designing and maintaining the urban space, the placement and reception of information about the city, the process of buying and selling , the way people meet in the city and finally the movements.

The approach of the research will be the analysis of example projects , analysis of prospects and analysis of developed technological systems (such as Wireless Communication, Location Awareness, Displays and Location Specific Information.)

Based on the analysis of the examples, we will try to respond to the following questions.
Will our use of the city change as media and communication technologies enters everyday life?
Are these new technologies going to change the city image and how?
Will the use of digital technologies in urban design improve the liveability of the city?
Who will benefit from this process and how?
