VERB CONNECTION

This issue of the boogazine "Verb" is about the city in the electronic era. It looks at the impact of electronic technology on urban reality, on the forms it is conceived in, on the new phenomena and new forms that generate it, but also on the form in which all aspects of the space of the city are experienced and lived. The handling of information is forever blurring the frontiers between the physical and the informational dimension of cities. This exploration ranges from the strange typological hybrids of the ultra-dense Asian city, taking in the American mixture of real and entertainment city, to the similarities between the physical network on the ground and its sister network on the internet.
