This data may contain personal data replacing function of passport or others ID do, medical record, crime record, educational record, or fund/wealth record, will be stored on a special device that integrated to their body. This device will enhance and become complement to the existing natural personal identifications: fingerprint, iris pattern or DNA.

     The data that stored on the special device that integrated to their body will become a new part of the body (to form as whole) and the user lifestyle rather than just as additional helper devices.To accommodate the device to the body to become a part of the whole, it will use the body heat/body movement, blood pressure and solar cell to operate the device. And the reason to use internal human body energy are: to reduce the movement limitation, to give total freedom to move, plug/unplug and play anywhere- anytime capabilities and to reduce unnecessary weight of the battery that should be carried to operate the devices.

    And in term of spatially, urban nomads can move from on place to another place easily without necessarily to built new personal space (including work space). The new personal space will enhance the existing natural space/personal bubble but not replacing. As when they move to a new place they will be immediately able to build their new space (in term of personal identity, they can plug and unplug the data from one place to another from public exchange control portable port and become a local within seconds). The space now also means unframed time; therefore they can control where they will move, life and work regardless space and time limitation. In this case, how urban nomads will redefine their urban landscape structure and its relationship with them.

     Urban nomads means new definition for integration of spatiality (space where they life, work, play and interact with others), time (time frame where they life within), their relationship between their body and the outside world (the way they move, transporting from one place to another), their identities (personality) and their body to form a new lifestyle.

     In conclusion, urban nomads definition is a new urban society where the integration of high technology, spatially (both time and space), mobility and independent lifestyle that has become a personality.

II. The City

     Information and communication technology (ICT) that in the past years has rapidly develop and slowly will penetrate the whole system of human life organization and then at the end will reshape the urban system both in term of structural and spatially. It will be no longer just a wired city but as a city full of invisible bubble of information and communication wave.
