Interactive concept preview
Skopje.city
The public surface of the city is only the beginning. Enter Skopje through Private Internet and move from the open web into a private digital layer built around place, identity and presence.
A different idea of a city website
The website is the invitation. The network is the place.
One deliberate transition.
Private Internet changes “connect to a VPN” into a human action: choose Skopje and enter the area.
A private city layer.
Identity, presence, digital buildings, rooms, private services and peer interaction can exist beyond the public surface.
Public city layer
Skopje,
as an interface.
One address can organize the city into useful surfaces instead of forcing people to know which institution, app or site to search first.
DISCOVER SKOPJE
The city,
without the noise.
without the noise.
Places, neighborhoods, culture and local recommendations presented as one coherent city experience.
Private Internet topology
A city can become a network.
Skopje is the Area. Organizations can become Buildings. Communities and services can become Rooms. The VPN is only the transport underneath the metaphor.
Skopje Area
The root private area. Entering it makes the device present inside the city network.

Private Internet client
Don't connect.
Enter.
The client turns network state into spatial language. OUTDOORS means normal internet. INDOORS means your device has entered a private Area with identity, presence and access.

Created as a working idea
Skopje.city is a public demonstration of a larger system.
Designed and built by Andrej Dimov as an experiment in city-scale digital identity, private networking and a new model for a more understandable private internet.
