An introduction to the physical and digital foundations of urban environment.
The Physical and the Digital City is a unique collection of projects wherein researchers and designers show how the theories of technology that underpin digital urban assemblages are applied in practical and spatial terms. The authors are experts in their respective fields who pursue cutting-edge solutions for city-making and consider the theoretical premise critically.
The book is designed to be a self-contained and interdisciplinary reference text to introduce students, designers, and scholars to the idea of urban application and its relation to the physical and the digital. Accessible to both urban planners and cultural theorists, the book will clarify the role of digital technologies within the city, along with its possible implications for people and communities. While the work is oriented to the academic and professional communities interested in architectural, urban, and digital design from different angles, it will appeal to anyone interested in how metropolises embrace digital technologies for more operational efficiency.
