VIRTUAL CITIES IN ASIA
Urban Vision in the Global Network World
The VC ASIA
Forum explores the dynamic relationship between virtual
space and real space with a special focus on Asian cities.
Why Virtual Cities?
Telecom and multi-media service is ever changing
how we live, how we communicate, how we use and design our space, and
how we make cities. Our Real Cities Will Still be Real? or Virtually
Real? or Really Virtual?
Why Asia ?
Asia is, and expected to remain as the most vitalized, most
energetic, and maybe, most audacious part of the world in reshaping
and newly making her urban world. Asia is eager to get into the
information age. Yet With the uncertain future, the complex present,
and the rich heritage past. Asian city cases offer challenging cases,
which will trigger provative discussion.
Will Asian be Still Asian in the globally networked world?
It's not only about Asia!
Certainly Asia wants to share the urban
vision with other parts of the world, especially those who already
have taken forwading steps: a similar experience. American Cities,
European Cities, Australian Cities are welcome to provide insight.
