Product Description

Product Description

Since the late 1990s, city councils have become increasingly aware of the Possibilities of information technologies (ICTs) to improve the management of cities and as an instrument for economic and social policy. This has resulted in a wave of urban ICT strategies and policies, ranging from the adoption of ICTs within the city administration to projects that facilitate access to ICTs by weaker social groups and policies to improve the urban electronic infrastructure. These policies and projects typically require substantial investments and are assumed to have a major impact on cities and city administrations. By comparing eight cities - Barcelona, Cape Town, Eindhoven, Johnnesburg, Manchester, Tampere, The Hague and Venice - this book examines a range of innovative urban e-governance strategies and develops a framework of analysis that permits a common approach. Throughout the book, a distinction is made between access policies (aimed at improving access to ICTs for all citizens), content policies (directed to improve the use of ICTs in the city administration and semi-public domains) and infrastructure policies (to improve the provision of broadband infrastructure). For each of the cities, E-strategies and policies are critically reviewed and compared. Among other things, the book reveals that urban E-strategies have evolved from an internal and technology-centred orientation to a more outward-looking approach.
