i gave this 1 4 stars mainly because i was just happy to find a book that specificlly deals with this slightly esoteric subject. although i think its OVER PRICED, i am still very happy with this purchase, it is a good resource for digital city projects, out lining the major goals, problems, achievments :) and gives clues for future trends. the pros; includes hard to find & usefull info on real projects (not the usual theoretical bla bla). intersting accounts from various points of view on this topic (some read like a press relaese/ marketing breif, some like an academic report) the cons: low productoin value (for the price) the paper is cheap,annoying typos -some one forgot to proof read, un -even quality-some of the projects presented arnt related to the subject closely enough, lack of editing focus or statement, and most projects are from 1999 n before

bottom line- if ur intu this topic, buy this book, ull b happy to have the info at hand but dont expect anything more than what it says it is- a collectin of lecture notes. some inspiring some dull. :) & thank u....

This book is of great knowledge regarding the digitalization of people communities. Lots of implemented digital cities are stated and explained throw this book, with japanese precision. Bologna, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Kyoto, Helsinki and so on, are compared with many points-of-view and concentred in one mission - what do the citizen want?
