Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate that video games, especially those played within a network, interconnected through the Internet, can contribute to the constitution of collective intelligence about a city's spatialities and urban ways of life. Thus, the article establishes a map of relations between Video Game Design, Architecture and Urbanism, from four categories of analysis, presenting games as tools for building collective intelligence, especially after the massification of the use of computers, the Internet, smartphones and locative media.
