Technological Interface of the City – The Promise of a Real Bottom-Up Urban Planning?
Journal Title: Challenges of Modern Technology - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper shows how developing social networking services, geo-media applications, e-management tools, and even some particular types of web ‘games’ may contribute to the creation of technological interfaces of our cities. Nevertheless, the paper calls into question whether these technological environments may contribute to the real change in urban planning – the change from the top-down to the bottom-up approach.

The paper is dedicated to the integrated process of the reactive extraction of citric acid from aqueous solution using supercritical CO2 and trioctylamine. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of process...
Enzymatic oxidation of neobetanin monitored by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection
The aim of this study was monitoring of enzymatic oxidation of neobetanin, an interesting type of betalains which is a partially oxidized betacyanin. As it belongs to betalains, it is water soluble and non-toxic, but a p...
Methodology for generating stable concentrations of nano-objects
With an increasing number of companies using and producing nanomaterials, also the number of workers who are exposed to nano-objects is increasing. Nano-objects, because of their very small size, can very easily overcome...
New Trends in the Development of High-Range Water-Reducing Admixtures
Chemical admixtures, in addition to cement, sand, gravel and water, are a primary component of concrete. High-range water reducers, also known as superplasticizers, are one of the most important chemical admixtures. The...
