Final observations
Cultural and Technological Changes
should be considered in current urban
planning practices
Dichotomy between
virtual/digital x real/physical are being
surpassed by the overlap or convergence
between physical and digital environments

Future Work
As the ants, people have built traces in virtual space,
informing their own network about what happens
around using different kinds of media such as images,
videos, sounds, geolocalization, comments, etc.
We intend to explore deeply such characteristics and
investigate how digital traces in DSN may influence the
perception and usage of urban space.
