The Cultural Research Centre of the Department of Communications and New Media (National University of Singapore), the Center for Information and Communication Studies (Fudan University), and, the Center for Digital Communication Studies (Zhejiang University), are hosting the International Communication Association Preconference, "Intelligent Communication and City Networks."

Intelligent communication re-wires various networks of cities, provide possible alternatives to intelligent mediation in urban settings, and renew an understanding of digital cities. Facilitated by increasingly intelligent technologies, such as ChatGPT, mobile VR, or TikTok, emerging networks of migration, trade and cultural exchanges re-connect cities into new clusters or communities. Examining the tension that intelligent communication brings to these networks carries important implications for the future of people, resources and technology. At this Preconference, interdisciplinary scholars will share research focusing on theorization, historiography, research methodology, and media practices.
