Since the late 1990s, Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs) have been hailed as a potentially revolutionary feature of
the planning and management of Western cities. Economic
regeneration and place promotion strategies have exploited these
new technologies; city management has experimented with
electronically distributed services, and participation in public
life and democratic decision-making processes can be made more
flexible by the use of ICTs. All of these technological initiatives
have often been presented and accessed via an urban front-end
information site known as 'digital city' or 'city network.'
Illustrated by a range of European case studies, this volume
examines the social, political and management issues and potential
problems in the establishment of an electronic layer of information
and services in cities. The book provides a better understanding of
the direction European cities are going towards in the
implementation of ICTs in the urban arena.
