Local and Global: The Management of Cities in the Information Age

di Jordi Borja (Autore)

Manuel Castells (Autore)

Taylor & Francis Ltd, 1997

This text challenges the belief that cities will eventually disappear as territorial forms of social organization as new information technologies permit the articulation of social processes without regard for distance, arguing that the specific role of cities will become more important, and proposing that a dynamic and creative relationship be built up between the local and the global. In this way, cities will remain the focus of social organization, political management and cultural expression, equipped to deal with the enormous social and environmental problems of urbanization.
