Books
Digital Urban Acupuncture
The book DUA – Digital Urban Acupuncture. Human Ecosystems and the Life of Cities in the Age of Communication, Information and Knowledge (S. Iaconesi, O. Persico, Springer, 2016) contains the description of the techniques, methodologies and technologies used in Human Ecosystems Relazioni, as well as some meaningful use cases. The book constitutes a perfect starting point to construct the base for courses and masters which deal with the connection between cities, technology, human behavior. It explores digital public space and the dynamics of collaboration and participation which can be constructed there.
