Reviews

This well-presented edited book provides an important staging post in our developing understanding of the form and function of the digital city...Building upon the outcome of two research workshops, the contributors begin to lift the lid on issues of citizen engagement with cities in an age of ubiquitous computing. illustrating by using well-drafted international case studies...Overall, the editors have done an excellent job in structuring and formatting sometimes very diverse interdisciplinary subject matter. -- Paul Longley, Environment and Planning B:Planning and Design
