This is a presentation i gave at Iginte Phoenix 5, whre I has 5 minutes to present 20 slides that changed every 15 seconds. Cities used to be social places designed for people. Now they are designed for cars and commerce. Social Media is closing this gap. It allow us to explore ways to engage with the people, stories, interpretations, and values of a specific place. This will affect how we relate, not only to each other, but to our cities and neighborhoods.
