Sites and places are not merely places people walk and live through. They are associated with cultural values, and even meanings of power, class, economy, ethnicity, etc… These spaces, set in a postmodern world are transforming the face of cities towards more fragmentation and control. However globalization is enabling cities to become heterogeneous places, where people from different cultural contexts and national background can meet and exchange.
Here again, the emergency of digital technologies plays an important role. Distances become inexistent, and the flow of information is omnipresent, even within households.
