| Summary |
What constitutes a place or a public can be controversial. New developments benefit some, and exclude or impose unexpected restrictions of others. This book focuses on the surprising generative possibilities which digital and smart technologies offer media consumers, citizens, institutions and governments in making publics and places, across topics as diverse as Twitter audiences, rural news, the elasticity of the public sphere, Weibo, cultural heritage and responsive spaces in smart cities. |
