Media and Urban Space conference 10 -12 novembre 2006, Weimar (Germany)
The MEDIACITY conference seeks to enable research about emerging processes of media use in urban contexts in the widest sense. It aims to research solutions for urban development in a knowledge-based society. MEDIACITY intends to achieve a transfer of experiences and theoretical knowledge in order to investigate opportunities for implementing information and media technologies in an urban environment. The conference will focus on the issue of a knowledge based economy and society for cities, the uses of new media in the practice of urban planning, development and architecture and the necessary political and social frameworks required to ensure the sociallybalanced embedding of these technologies.
The MEDIACITY conference is interested to increase its international and national cooperation with scientists and research institutions all over the world. The conference will be the starting date of a new international on-line journal where selected contributions will be published. The "Mediacity" conference is part of the MEDIACITY project of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and aims at establishing a new research center on media, architecture and city. The conference will represent the book MEDIACITY which will offer an inside look in the first findings
