[-empyre-] The city as a skin -- Sparta and the helots / time and space and movement

[xDxD.vs.xDxD]

Hello everyone,

first of all, thank you for the insightful discussion

we presented Maps of Babel in Buruxelles at the Human Cities conference,
bringing up scenarios through which the digital forms of expression of
people in cities using social network can be harvested and used to create
new practices for urban planning, community design, city governance,
tending to p2p models in which citizens and administrations take active
part in the same process.  And, in the meantime, raising ethical issues on
the transformation of public space and privacy.
