Introdução ao tema

In the middle of the century XXI, the new communication technologies transmit new marks to the urban environment. Digital Cities are the cities of globalization, where the means of communication are part of our daily lives.

The term digital city contains four types of experiences, which relate cities and new communication technologies:

• The 1st type of experience aims to create a web representation of a particular place;
• In 2nd place, its objective is to create interfaces between the electronic space and the physical space by offering several areas of access and services;
• The 3rd place refers to 3D modeling, from spatial information systems, for the creation of simulations of urban spaces;
• Last but not least, this experience is formed by projects that do not represent a real urban space.
