Information Technology: Social and Spatial Perspectives: Proceedings of an International Conference on Information Technology and Its Impact on the Urban-Environmental System Held at the Toyohashi University of Technology, Toyohashi, Japan, November 1986

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

technology might re-shape interaction and, eventually, the
form and function of urban areas.
