Summary

In the 21st century, digital technologies redefine human connections, compressing space and expanding time. This shift prompts a reevaluation of work, culture, and information. As cities evolve, a return to proximity becomes paramount. Balancing micro (places fostering social interaction) and macro (flows and networks) elements, cities must be polycentric, dense yet permeable, diverse, and safe. Co-governance, driven by active citizen participation, emerges as the key to building a 21st-century city that integrates modern technologies, values, and aspirations—a co-utopia for all.
