Abstract
The areas which urban information systems should serve are characterized by lack of organizational unity; hence, “total” urban information systems are meaningless. Management of public agencies in urban areas seldom controls a significant proportion of the variables affecting these areas; information systems should relate in depth to actual control variables in the hands of public officials. Information for urban systems should focus primarily on the environment shared by many agencies rather than on internal resources of the agencies themselves. Identification of data requirements for urban management will continue to be more of an art than a science. The system consequences of the foregoing are described by such words as “incremental” as distinct from “turn-key” and “jurisdictional” as distinct from “functional”.
