In the age of social media and information, what are the iconic images of a city and the buildings that populate it? Does the propagation of architectural imagery, the collective image of a place, affect the conceptualization of a building and play a role in urban planning?

Has the civic identity of a city, its planning, and its architecture evolved through a changing lens?
