City space serves as a ultimate grounds for reproduction of social relations, formation of collective and social identities, through urban rituals. Public spaces can also be a place for conflict, demonstration, etc.

Spatiality of the city is transformed by such social events and impacts the nature of social events. The city with its architectural complexities and corpus, the urban theatre which unfolds urban drama one after the other in layers. While understanding the past, and the shared memories that are attached to the architectural spaces.

Urban fabric-cities acts as a place where technologies, knowledge is produced, exchanged and put to use in productive material activities. These materials greatly shape the urban spaces and give them a new form and crystallize in the physical world of the city, its architectural culture. It knits the disparate spaces into one continuous narrative space.

He states that cities are a space for socio cultural interaction which help the society to develop new ideas and opportunities for them to explore these spaces and utilize them. Network plays an important role in interaction between people and the spaces.

network society is an expression related to political, economic, and cultural changes caused by different networks in the society, the concept of network society is closely associated with interpretation of social implications at a global level, and the role of electronic communication technologies in the society.

A key aspect of network society of network society is that specific societies are deeply affected by inclusion in and exclusion from the global network that structure production, consumption, communication. His hypothesis is that will gradually wipe out the technological changes on the planet for ex everyone has a mobile, he argues that exclusion is a inbuilt, structural feature of the network society.

Networks are based on inclusion and exclusion. It functions on the basis of incorporating people and resources that are valuable to their task and excluding

other people, territories and activities that have less value for the performance of those tasks. Different networks have different rationales and geographies of exclusion and inclusion for e.g.- Silicon Valley engineers occupy very different social and territorial spaces from criminal networks.

The division of labour and poverty trap are those who are the source of innovation and value to the society, those who can merely carry out instructions. In social culture power plays an important role for determining the social change, because connectivity and access to network are essential to the power of some social groups to impose values and goals on society at a large scale and others to resist their domination

In network society one of the most important impacts of globalization is the it enables us to create economic, social, and political relationships that are less and less bounded by where we are located at any given time by our spatial location. In traditional society, different social relation, customs, and culture exist in separate spaces and individuals have to conform to most powerful expectations and rules. Communication is seen as a one-way street, rather than an vaccination of new information into passive recipients who absorb novel information and ideas, then individuals and local communities can be disempowered by communication of external knowledge and culture.
