Abstract
The introduction of digital and mobile technologies has profoundly changed everyday life transforming the way people communicate and interact with one another, but also the way of consuming/producing services and experiencing places. Consequently, architecture, urban design and planning approaches have been changing too: from the integrations of media in architecture and in product design (urban screen and media facades to offer new services and information to the public), to the planning and management of the Sentient and Smart City, thanks to remote sensing, crowd sourcing or, generically, user-generated content. However, although the concern of the inhabitants in their environment has becoming one of the favored topics for discussion on the web (Luehrs 2008), the most sophisticated applications have been made for leisure purposes, then for spatial decision-making. Therefore, the paper will discuss opportunities as well as disadvantages of the use of innovative technologies as tools for enhancing levels of social collaboration in urban planning.
