Abstract

This article seeks to demonstrate how urban planning strategies can creatively address the complex interlinkages between telecommunications, urban form, and transportation. The first part sets the context for local telecommunications and planning interventions by exploring the broad relations between new information technologies, and the changing form and development of cities and systems of physical mobility and location. The second part reviews a range of relevant emerging urban planning and policy initiatives drawn from North America, Europe, and Asia. Finally, the article concludes by assessing the significance of these policies and suggests ways for creatively integrating telecommunications into urban policy and planning practices and strategies.
