Digital region

What is called "the city" is disappearing, to the benefit of heterogeneous places, driven flows and phenomena as much as devices, and buildings. They embed the remote, the hyperlocal, the heterogeneity of densities, new centers, etc. The essential functions of the physical and mental space structure which designated the city as a system, but also as a regulating idea of living and living together have evolved. It is the foundation of something that, because of its organization, belongs to the domain of hyper-urban architecture, public spaces, networks, governance, design, etc., and which becomes an above-and-beyond city: a megalopolis...
New information and communication technologies (NICTs) create a new territory and urban space, The new urban organizations are composed of an interlacing of physical and digital situations. This hybridization is still in its infancy, but it may be possible to smooth the current urban challenges in terms of transport, information, communication, sharing and the sense of belonging that is now diffuse.
The Digital Region, also because of the issuing Digital Region identity, is a major challenge if we want to build strong links between the area and its inhabitants, thus making the complex city familiar.
