Book synopsis

Existing urban areas attempt to adapt themselves with§the digital revolution, and developers are§future-proofing their properties by building§high-speed wiring into the neighborhoods. However, if§residential environments employ the technology§without appropriate planning and foresight the result§will be as sad as many cities like Venice that lost§their traders and residents after its disability of§taking the heavy infrastructures of modernism.§Therefore, investigating the changes required in§neighborhoods in order to make them more convenient§to locate new functions and activities is the§necessary task to develop new generation of§infrastructure design. This book is studying newly§emerging ICT-based lifestyles and through them the§social and spatial impacts that they are seeking or§may cause in their living environments. The study is§typological and emphasizes on the similarities and§differences between different neighborhood types (as§physical contexts) and lifestyles (as human§contexts). The analysis should be useful to§professionals in urban planning, urban design and§architecture fields, or anyone else who may be§interested in better understanding of their fast§changing world.
