The electronic city

The topic „The Electronic City“ refers to the introduction and the consequences of the new information and communication technologies for urban life. In which way can „E-Europe“ for all be realised? How can the digital divide be overcome? What are the consequences for the socially disfavoured groups and how can they participate in the E-City? Is human behaviour different in virtual space? These are the questions which are part of many discourses on this topic and which are addressed in this book.
