摘要

In a point of view that could be defined as pure ethics of urban representation, is it legitimate to ask whether there is a risk for the protection of the identity of online public spaces within the dynamics that lead, trough geosocial media, to the creation of shared use maps of the city? Since the use of the internet has become a fundamental part of human daily life, feelings of being surrounded cyclically emerge, linked to the effective explosiveness of the cultural transformations taking place in matters of privacy. On the other hand, although the theme of the publicness of the urban space has been constantly under study for years, no fundamentally political problem can ever be said to be completely resolved, and this particularly true in periods of global cultural transition such as the one we are in nowadays. Within the idea, therefore, that the direction to take can only consider the inextricable interweaving between the realities of the physical and the digital, it is necessary that the disciplines of governance and design of space question themselves on the ever more evident need for urban and environmental regeneration projects. In other words, from now on it is necessary to speak about public spaces, to the extent that they are accessible and accessive, but in which the control relating to the exchange of information by the citizen-inhabitants builds a standard of identity well-being equal at least to what can be built in a domestic space, i.e. maximally private. The formulation of this new criterion can be the first step towards a conscious process of full understanding of the city as hybrid environment in the online/offline and public/private dimensions.
