Urban Informatics (Collaboration at the nexus of policy, technology and design, people and data)

Information shapes urban spaces in ways that most people rarely stop to consider. This edited volume focuses on the creative application and management of information technologies in urban environments, with an emphasis on the intersection between citizen participation in creating city environments and the policy-making that supports it. The chapters address critical issues including the digital divide, transportation planning, use of public spaces, community building, and local events. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Urban Technology.
