Emergence of the NEO-CITIZEN

>> Rethinking of the urban experience

The widespread technology of the internet and user-generated content avenues has created a new phenomenon in how world boundaries are perceived and hence changed the perception of the ‘the citizen’.

With the emergence of the “NEO-CITIZEN”, how can we, as architects, harmonize architecture with issues of political boundaries, social systems, media exchanges, and the economy?

On a broad sense, I am interested to investigate new ways in which global cities grow amid geopolitical influences. What are the current global systems that define a city and how will potential future interventions augment these systems?
