Cities are where the majority of people in the world live. As such,
it is critically important to understand cities when seeking to
address quality-of-life issues. While the concentration of people
in cities presents many complex issues that warrant attention, the
focus of this book is on urban communication and human interaction
as regulated by municipal governments. Thirteen scholars-whose
backgrounds range from community organizing, to law,
telecommunication, architecture, city planning, art, policy
studies, and urban communication-examine public communication
venues and opportunities, all of which are impacted by municipal
regulation. Whether it is the selective funding of public art, the
establishment of architectural standards for public buildings, the
regulation of signage, public assembly, food trucks, or
telecommunication access, the authors in Urban Communication
Regulation: Communication Freedoms and Limits contend that urban
policy and regulation shape communication in cities. Through
zoning, funding, "private law," and a host of other means, the
regulation of communication has significant impacts on the quality
of life for those who live in cities. The essays in this volume
focus on many of these impacts, and suggest both why and how
municipal regulation can improve the quality of urban
communication.
