"Media City" is a broad term that may refer to a diversity of phenomena, from specific real estate developments like Media City UK, to sociological/theoretical frameworks for the contemporary information- and media-rich urban environment (e.g. the work of Manuel Castells), to a EU-funded research project based in the departments of Architecture, Media and Urban Sociology at the Bauhaus-University, Weimar, Germany.[1]
According to Shannon Mattern, the Media City "is typically presented [by scholars and designers] as a product of modern times and modern technology — a spatial construction that came into being with the rise of photography and film and is evolving into our sentient cities of tomorrow." [2]
