The research project “CyberSocial” seeks to overcome current problems within urban digital transformation for addressing human values and technological normativity as cities globally incorporate new technologies into our homes, communities and city fabrics. While technology has the proven capacity to improve social and individual life, we must still answer the challenge of negative technological effects on the social. Our project seeks to determine patterns in cyber-social transformation so that we might mitigate future problems at the point of infusion. By cyber-social we simply mean the integration of digital and cyber technologies with social life.
