Information technology and communications have been proposed as the major axis of change and development in the third millennium. In this area, the city is also changed by the development in the concept of urban space and the emergence of new infrastructure of information technology and communications. The importance of the achievements of the age of information technology and communications is far beyond its means (the Internet, GPS, etc.) It technology makes it possible for the person to be at once present in both real and cyber dimensions, and manage to understand the space beyond the boundaries of space and time of its seating. That's why the nature of urban space which depends on the two factors of environment (physical and non-physical) and culture (the collection of material and non-material achievements of a society), will change by the new technology. On the other hand, the form of the city, function, composition and the distribution of activities have always been heavily influenced by the capabilities of its infrastructure network. So, as the industrial revolution led to basic developments in the city and its texture, the infrastructure of information technology and communications also brings about widespread developments in the body of the city. Given the depth and breadth of these changes, it is necessary that we re-direct this flow by identification of new capabilities and investigation of the physical changes of the city under the influence of this new technology. Since what has brought about the existing worries regarding the negative effects of the new technology, is the result of unplanned effects which occur in the opposition of cyberspace and real space. In this paper, by avoiding the abstract approach to the subject of information technology and communications, we investigate its impacts on the urban space, body and face of the city and in the end, a new definition of city designing in the age of information technology and communications is presented.
