2018-2019 Digital transformation and urban spatial organization in Europe: Development of a concept paper for a Collaborative Research Center

Forschung |


What are the current and potential impacts of digital transformation on urban spatial organization? How does the networking of value chains, availability of digital mass data, automation and digital customer interfaces affect current urban spatial organization? How will new possibilities enabled by Augmented Reality, Image recognition and Internet of Things transform spatial organization? Knowing that the speed of change of technologies and innovation, such as Autonomous Vehicles, drones and crowd logistics, has a different rhythm and velocity than that of policy and legislation, infrastructure and consumer acceptance, how can the level of readiness of the spatial environment for the adoption of new technologies be matched to the speed of technological innovation?
