Series Details:
From the earliest times, people settling cities devised clever ways of moving things: the materials they needed to build shelters, the water and food they needed to survive, the tools they needed for their work, the armaments they needed for their protection – and ultimately, themselves. Twenty-first century urbanites are still moving things about, but now they employ networks to facilitate that movement – and the things they now move include electricity, capital, sounds, and images.
The Networked Cities Series has as its focus these local, global, physical, and virtual urban networks of movement. It is designed to offer scholars, practitioners, and decision makers studies on the ways cities, technologies, and multiple forms of urban movement intersect and create the contemporary urban environment.
