Networked neighbourhoods: The purview

Abstract

The background to this book is the pervasive networking of many aspects of civil society and the implications of this technological development for the neighbourhood and the collocated community residing therein. The raison d'etre of the book is the provision of a broadly based interdisciplinary forum in which some of the salient societal and technical issues flowing from this development are presented, discussed and critiqued. © 2006 Springer.
