Abstract

The evolution of communication technologies in human history has led to an emergence of a special kind of communication culture in a modern metropolis. New technologies are changing the structure of the experience of communication: information, message, comprehension are realized at different levels of the semantic structure of the city. Centrifugal tendencies are strengthened in the process of urbanization. The metropolis reflecting the diversity of its functions is turning into a “space of stream” with a polycentric structure, imbued with functional links. Metropolis acts as a device that constantly broadcasts messages. Communication becomes pointless for differentiating between genuine and disingenuous. The need for reverse social bonds makes it necessary to create an effective communication interaction by means of modern architecture and urban planning decisions. Now the formation of a metropolitan community manifests itself as communication without a message.
