In this paper we outline the structure for coordinating engaged parties in developing scalable urban screen infrastructure and considerations necessary for installing rear projection urban screens in existing city spaces. We discuss the network architectures and topologies for creating networked urban screen systems, borrowing concepts from networked music performance and installation contexts. Finally, we demonstrate the use of our approach for developing an urban screen, showcasing multiple exhibitions.
