Cities are rich informative environments. This has been dubbed the urban century with, for the first time in human history, more than half the world’s population living in cities. Cities are global, smart, connected, inclusive, livable, green, sustainable, mega and communicative. The urban experience is increasingly influenced by technology. From photography to the mobile phone, augmented reality and the GPS, the person/environment relationship is altered by media technologies. Urban communication is a growing field examining communication in urban sites and urban influences on communication. What is the relationship between media ecology and urban communication? From Benjamin and McLuhan to Postman and Strate, this article explores the connections between urban communication and media ecology and suggests urban spaces and places call out for the attention of media ecologists
