Abstract: A specific element of modern regional analysis, especially in the circumstances of a dynamically urbanizing living environment, is the technological innovations and their recognition as an integral of urban development. Technologies do not work in the abstract, but following the specifics of the participants who initiate, promote, integrate, use, or drive them. Cities provide the physical living environment to an ever-growing number of citizens around the world. Along with the de-ruralization of the world, its digitalization is accelerating. Digital communications are shrinking the globe, through streams of terabytes of information. The understanding of the concept of "digital city" is becoming increasingly important. Digitalized cities, analogies to their physical regional urban formations, are nothing but information infrastructure, except when enlivened by human presence. This document focuses on the society in digital cities. It establishes the idea of a "citizen" who, through his existence and activity, overcomes the modern challenges of globalized societies and is an engine of development and growth of all kinds.
