The article questions the usefulness of dualism between physical and virtual space for spatial planning. Based on the relational concept of space, it investigates if and how space changes as a result of the digital media that are integral to social life, to the functioning of objects and to the global circulation of information. The article builds on seminal work by Joshua Meyrowitz dedicated to the impact of electronic media on social behavior. Derived from his concept of merging of public spheres is the complementary concept of merging of spaces, namely an interpretation of space that abolishes the dualism between physical and virtual as a path towards an ambivalent kind of space, with relevant consequences for spatial planning of the digital
Keywords: Digital media, merging of spaces, relational space
