Abstract

Social media influence materialises in the physical world by shaping our urban environment and changing the modality we experience. This under-explored outcome still lacks the conceptual tools to build a discourse around it. We present a case study that showcases how urban planning and development are influenced by social media and a first framework addressing the interrelation between social media, urban design, and the experience of the urban environment. This short contribution provides concepts for critically analysing the physical implications of social media-based ubiquitous hypertext systems.
