Abstract

In recent decades, urban life has faced tremendous changes caused by the advancement of New Technologies in the postindustrial context. New Technologies address different geographical and physical issues; and socio-political systems adapt themselves to different technological developments. So, over the years, these two spaces (virtual and physical) became merged. Understanding contemporary civic life in urban spaces is possible through recognizing the interactions between these two spaces. This article as a theoretical endeavor tries to shed light on the effects of New Technologies on the characteristics of urban spaces. It is structured in two main parts; The first part, is a chronological analysis of the metaphors coined to describe the relationship between physical and virtual in order to define hybrid urban space. In the second part three main characteristics of urban spaces: “ legibility” , “ sociability” , “ diversity of activities” are explored and comparatively analyzed in physical, virtual and Hybrid Urban Spaces. Exploring legibility in the new context shows that the necessity of engagement with physical environment is less than before. Instead, digital and online data about events, history and narratives attached to the places and affect understanding of it. According to sociability, many forms of social interactions which had been transferred to the virtual space are reattached to the physical space via location-based networks. New third places are substantially in-between spaces which should contain physical facilities as much as opportunities for network connection. Hybrid Urban Spaces are nodes shaped in the intersection of online digital flows and offline physical activities. Different activities can be represented and merged and people can play different roles simultaneously. This paper shows new qualities of good urban spaces are the results of transformation in the way of experiencing urban spaces. Providing good Hybrid Urban Spaces with these new characteristics is a new challenge for urban design and management.
