ix, 130p. , 23cm.

By examining and comparing five European cities -
Eindhoven, Helsinki, Manchester, Marseilles and the Hague
- this book sheds light on the impact of ICTs on urban
development and considers the consequences for urban
management. Case studies show how cities use new
technologies to improve the delivery of municipal
services, to increase civil participation and local
democracy, to help their citizens and businesses make the
shift to the information society, and to fight the
digital divide. These analyses reveal strategic
challenges and potential pitfalls for ICT policy. The
book offers a unique international perspective on the
impact and potential of information technologies on urban
development.
