summary	This paper explores how the notions of SPATIALITY `public space’ can inform the debate over VIRTUALITY "electronic media". It examines the metaphorical adoption of urban models to look at electronic sociality and suggests approaches: suburbanized telecities, communitarian visions and accounts that appeal to a renewed public sphere. However, instead of trying to shift these metaphors by contrasting them to a purported real world, the paper examines how they shape an electronic architecture. In this sense, the `real’ city is the indefinable complexity and folding of spaces-lying outside the visualizations offered of cyberspace.
