Description
The book contains perspectives on the way new information
technology might reorient the spatial organization of
activity. The perspectives range from conceptual, high-
lighting the role of research and development to case
studies from Japan. Considerable debate is focused on the
role of distance and the way in which new information
technology might re-shape interaction and, eventually, the
form and function of urban areas.
