The digital humanities is an approach to the big questions of our age: what does it mean to be human when everything is so digitally-mediated? At the same time, it examines our digital culture and says, what do we see when we look at digital media from a humanities perspective? Then, let’s throw in the fact that human culture, overwhelmingly for the first time in human history, is urban culture. What do we see? What answers do we come up with? For that matter, what even are the questions? Can the digital humanities make our cities better?
