Telecommunications and the City : Electronic Spaces, Urban Places, Paperback / softback Book

Telecommunications and the City : Electronic Spaces, Urban Places Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Telecommunications and the City provides the first critical and state-of-the-art review of the relations between telecommunications and all aspects of city development and management. Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches and a wide body of recent research, the book addresses key academic and policy debates about technological change and the future of cities with a fresh perspective.

Through this approach, the complex and crucial transformations underway in cities in which telecommunications have central importance are mapped out and illustrated.

Key areas where telecommunications impinge on the economic, social, physical, enviromental and institutional development of cities are illustrated by using boxed extracts and wide range of case study examples from Europe, Japan and North America. Rejecting the extremes of optimism and pessimism in current hype about cities and telecommunications, Telecommunications and the City offers a sophisticated new perspective through which city-telecommunications relations can be understood.
