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.Table of contents'Evangelos Asprogerakas, Byron Ioannou'Redefining space: The web access profile of the small and medium sized Greek cities'Frank Eckardt'E-City: From Researching the Virtual towards Understanding the Real Urban Life'Pirjo Elovaara'Between Stability and Instability - a Project about e-Democracy'Silvia Gullino'Urban regeneration in Baltimore: can CitiStat be one of the answers to build more social inclusive processes?'Maarit Kahila, Marketta Kyttä'Web-based SoftGIS Method in Research and Urban Planning Practices'Stela Lovacká'Introduction to Building E-Government in Slovakia'Daniela Müller'e-visions - mind the gap.'Christine Nippe'City Representations in Net Art'Francesco Rotondo'Utility of Web and Electronic Meeting Systems Supporting Collaborative.
