The city is created under emergency conditions: on the one hand, the obligation to update its infrastructures and, on the other hand, the need to maintain the same standards as in other cities, both of which require the continuous incorporation of new technologies in public spaces. If the now rare telephone booths were an example of this modernising in their day, urban screens are today’s equivalent. Once the economic factors were overcome, they began to be implemented all over the city following confused criteria linked to business performance and inertia inherited from previous examples, such as in Times Square in New York.
