Abstract

‘The new city presupposes that the cables of the interhuman relations are switched reversibly, not in bundles as with television, but in real networks, respons(e)ibly, as in the telephone network. These are technical questions; and they are to be solved by urbanists and architects.’ (Vilém Flusser 1990). To reinforce the significance of public space we have to deal with at least two ‘publics’ - the global and the local public - by creating spheres where local and global public space can fuse and interchange.
