The Digital City : media and the social production of placePublication Date: 2020-01-21
The Digital City advocates for the need to rethink our everyday interactions with digital infrastructures, navigation technologies, and social media as we move through the world. Halegoua shows how urban broadband networks, social and locative media platforms, digital navigation, smart cities, and creative placemaking initiatives turn urban spaces into places with deep meanings and emotional attachments. Halegoua argues that people use digital media to create a unique sense of place within rapidly changing urban environments and that a sense of place is integral to understanding contemporary relationships with digital media.
