Urbanism is the mirror in which the many aspects and layers of society are reflected. Cities were first developed to support basic human activities, but have gradually transformed into complex, evolving, living laboratories, where socio-environmental relations are currently being redefined. In today’s connected world, urban design can no longer be addressed from a singular perspective, but should result from an open and collaborative network. We need to explore the new role of the designer as an activator, mediator and curator of social processes in a networked reality.
