INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MODEL OF MODERN CITY PUBLIC SPACE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of new types of urban spaces that owe their origin to the development of information and communication technologies. An innovative factor that influenced the transformation of public spaces in the XXI century was the emergence of the media and information sphere. The widespread use of personal computers and the home Internet in the 1990s led to a decline in publicity and a crisis in traditional urban social communications. Currently, a new type of personality is being created, prone to limited contacts with other individuals in certain conditions (for example, in social networks). The information technology model of public space transfers social connections to the virtual world, thus reducing the need for the development of physical urban spaces. Information technology has led to the development of new forms of public spaces. Among them we will note such as “smart square”/”smart street”, media spaces and flash mob spaces. The results of the study of the characteristics of these new urban spaces are presented in the article.
