The interplay between urban space, local community, and social media in each case study requires diverse methodologies that are both computational (i.e. machine learning, social network analysis, and natural language processing) and ethnographic (i.e. semi-structured interviews, thematic analysis, and site analysis). The book views social media not as a replacement for the local community or urban space but rather as a translation of the uses and meanings of all three realms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to students, researchers, and instructors in a number of disciplines including urban design\/planning, media studies, geography, and communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Sauda is a professor of architecture and an adjunct faculty at the Charlotte Vis Center and the School of Data Science UNC Charlotte.
