• Sommario/riassunto: Significant changes are occurring in the social spaces of modern cities and the social functioning of media. This book argues that the spaces and rhythms of contemporary cities are radically different to those described in classic theories of urbanism. Changes in the city have been paralleled by the transformation of media which has become increasingly mobile, instantaneous and pervasive. The media are no longer separate from the city.
