Abstract: The subject of this research is the city and its images, which change and transform the urban aesthetics as whole by being transmitting in media environment. A city image, facing certain environment, suggests a subjective vision and subjective feeling from the city on one hand, and on the other hand some projects on urban environment planning overall meet certain objective tasks, while the manipulation of proportions is subject to the ideas of utilitarianism and perception of the world that reveals itself in separate components, as well as in totality of these elements, which produce the field for interpretations and expansion of this world perception. Methodological analysis represents a combination of historicism with the principles of descriptive aesthetics, portraying the entire cultural block that applies and collocates the layers of various historical eras. The ideas of hermeneutics and semiotics would also be relevant in such context. The work examines the problem of cultural transformations, which interfusing each other, change the initial image. The author traces the works of well-known philosophers and aestheticians in the field of urban studies, who reviewed the changes in urban environment throughout various brinks of the centuries. The new paradigm includes the digital elements replacing the “documentation”. The conclusion is made that the image of a modern city correlates with the digital space, being involved into the media game that captivates the society.
