New ubiquitous and mobile technological urban infrastructures

Essentially supported by ICTs, are the key to understanding how the world has been transformed into an entire urban phenomenon. By adopting a necessary multidisciplinary approach, ICTs for Mobile and Ubiquitous Urban Infrastructures: Surveillance, Locative Media and Global Networks focuses on ICTs and new urban infrastructures to discuss how the world has been revolutionized.

Discussions developed here, both theoretical and analytical, are all connected with global networks of signs, values and ideologies, locative media that give us the freedom of spatial mobility and the possibility of creating and recreating places, and the surveillance artefacts which permeate our daily life and allow a hypothetical total control of space.
