The Importance of Visual Communication of Urban Planning Information Published by Local Public Administrations

In recent years, social networks have become more and more influential in the daily lives of people of all ages. People ask, inform themselves and express their opinion much more freely than in the past. Therefore, public administrations, both local, county and national, have understood the importance of their presence on social networks and try to maintain, at least to a certain level, the relationship with citizens, publishing various information of interest about their activity. The present paper is intended to be a critical analysis, based on various real cases, of the communication of information to citizens published by local public administrations. The main purpose of this analysis is to highlight the importance of using visual communication in the transmission of information.
