Description

Information and communication technologies are said to be transforming urban life dramatically and bringing about rapid economic and cultural globalization.

This book explores the many fascinating and urgent issues involved by relating advanced theoretical debates to practical matters of communication with cultural policy.

It maps out a range of `optimistic' and `pessimistic' scenarios with special regard to various forms of inequality, particularly class, gender and geopolitical.

Topics discussed include urban planning, virtual cities and actual cities, economic and political policy, and critical social analysis of current trends that are of momentous consequence. The book concludes that it is necessary to bring together a number of differently informing approaches, cultural, economic, political and technological, to make sense of a field of dynamic and contradictory forces.
