ICT is an important social medium which influences the concepts of space and place. It allows creative
participation of users who act as consumers of places, active contributors in the process of urban design or
critics. The first phase of the ICT development in cities was focused on providing and assuring low-cost
Internet access which would enable free connectivity within a community, at home or work (Loader and
Keeble, 2004). Gradually, the relationship between ICT, community and cities has been continuously
analyzed and elaborated emphasizing new topics and targeting design and meaningful application of ICT
within communities. Simultaneously, the role of digital networks and flows has been recognized in many
fields of urban reality, fostering civic engagement (Pigg, 2001) and supporting a sustainable social, cultural
or economic development of cities and their spaces.
Nowadays, people interact in both physical and virtual realm, gathering formally or informally in order to...
exchange information and knowledge, disseminate practice and experiences, or erase different kinds of
limitations. While the main role of open public spaces is to provide social contacts between people,
remaining the place where they can rest, recreate and enjoy the environment, e-networks have opened
additional channels of communication and diffusion. Allowing an extended (spatial and temporal)
community upgrading and interchange, the digital surrounding has become a new tool and a setting for
contemporary activities demanding continuous development and synchronization with global challenges and
needs.
Considering the ambiguous nature of modern cities and their public spaces, the paper will tackle several
questions. What is the future of open public spaces? Can virtual space take on the role of the physical one?
Could we use social networks as additional and dynamic tools for fulfilling the main tasks of open public
spaces? What are the recent innovations introduced into cities in order to support increasing number of
communication modes? How they affect urban modelling - both on the physical and the virtual level of urban
life?
