Cities and communication have been historically inseparable, and the new communication technologies and globalization are changing the boundaries of multicentered, multicultural and multimediated urban regions. The `communicative city' is a medium with a traditional local and internal geographic space and place, while conveying its message into a virtual external cyberspace. The impact of social divergence and media convergence on urban identity raises questions about consensus, community and the `communicative' function of the city if it is digitized, dematerialized and deterritorialized in a new urban geography.
