Abstract:
The recent technologies have changed the way we used to build our cities. It has changed our daily habits, social pattern, our work centers, work tools, connectivity and in general the quality of urban life. Technology has changed the way we think about personal spaces, work spaces, recreation, activities and our aspirations gradually.
Just like the "Industrial revolution" brought out a radical departure to existing systems of work and economy and triggered concepts like the “Radiant city” and the “Garden City” to evolve different ideas of social and economic patterns that influenced generations, the newer technologies are also creating a new digital revolution in transforming the urban form and future of cities. Cities are constantly transforming and interacting in different ways. Still the built matrix of form and spaces both physical and historical bind us constantly. The technology enables us to be more independent and connected, at the same time all our pre-conceived notions of personal and work spaces change. Both physical and electronic structure of cities is undergoing transformation through the progress of time and new redefined spaces. The paper would discuss about the evolution of typologies under the influence of technological advancements from industrial revolution to the present day and how technology at different levels contributed to create the unimaginable future at the same time what negative consequences it bought to the society.
