| Summary: | Cities are physical systems and they have an order. In classical Physics –that is in classical mechanics– order was stable, rigid, hierarchical or regular and periodic. The principles which explain said order are in truth, elemental. However, with new Physics said order is revealed as being of greater complexity. Likewise, cities are living systems exactly insofar as they metabolize information, matter and energy. Indeed, the complexity of the present day world is profoundly related to the digitalization of the world. This implies new methods of writing, new methods of reading, new methods of communication and manifestly new languages. Thus appears the emergency of a new social class: that of the migrants and the natives in converging technologies. They are those that are redefining the (dis)order in the cities. Without circumlocution, the city is now and each time more so, the place of communication and language, of life experiences and communal living. And to the chagrin of the traditional mentalities, living together and dwelling, communication and language are constantly becoming more and more digital. An authentic revolution in every sense of the word. |
