Information shapes urban spaces in ways that most people rarely
stop to consider. From data-driven planning to grassroots activism
to influencing the routes we walk, bike, and drive, new information
technologies are helping city dwellers to leverage information in
new ways. These technologies shape the uses and character of urban
spaces. Information technologies and tools such as social media and
GIS tracking applications are being used by individuals as they go
about their daily lives, not as alternatives to social interaction,
but as opportunities to participate in the shared experience of
urban life. This edited volume focuses on the creative application
and management of information technologies in urban environments,
with an emphasis on the intersection between citizen participation
in creating city environments and the policy-making that supports
it. The chapters address critical issues including the digital
divide, transportation planning, use of public spaces, community
building, and local events. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Urban Technology.
