Architecture and urban planning are much more than the decoration of our lives. Their role transcends the aesthetic component, it conditions us, it aspires to make our lives easier and more pleasant, it helps to define us individually and collectively.

Consequently, it is necessary to discuss how they affect and will affect current trends and developments in our daily lives, both in an individual dimension and, above all, in a more macro dimension, i.e. in the shaping of present and future societies. Technology often comes with the promise of freedom, but it has been seen that this freedom often comes at a cost, involving concessions that perhaps make us captive to these new tools and the corporations behind them.
