Book Summary
In a world where networks and new technologies redefine our relationship with space, this book offers a deep analysis of how the city is being transformed. The work examines the perception of the urban landscape through the prism of virtuality, integrating natural and cultural aspects to understand new spatial realities. An essential read for those seeking to understand the intersection of urban planning, geography, and digital communication.
What is it about?
