Abstract
Traditionally, urban public spaces integrated inhabitants of a city. It provided the setting for the “space of access to information”, and this characteristic was often expressed in the architecture with elements of visual information: inscriptions, sculptural detail of the “communicative” role. Symbolism of hierarchy was expressed by the dominants of sacral and secular buildings. As mass communication takes over, the fact of “detachment” of communication from a real space becomes a fact, and it remains not without consequences on the space.

It was a realistic proposition because the first underground railway in the world, the London underground, had already been used then for about thirty years. The first section of the subway was opened in 1863. Therefore, author’s ideas went hand in hand with the technical capabilities of the era. The premises of the Linear City’s authors can thus be classified as real.

An exception are multimillion metropolises where operate issuers of local mass media: regional television programs, radio channels, internet portals and traditional press.

Computational design allows the generation of architectural forms using digital optimization methods, in which the architect controls the form using a programming code.

The problem of fragmentation of the city is associated with the increasing trend of spatial divisions in cities: social, economic, cultural and political ones. The phenomenon is socially harmful because it highlights differences between the inhabitants—generating conflicts and, generally, increased crime (Graham and Marvin 2001).
