ICT-related Transformations in Latin-American Metropolises

"This book makes a contribution to the field of urban ICT studies in cities of the South, by exploring the ICT-related transformations in the Latin American urban scene." "Based on Gabriel Dupuy's notion of the 'urbanism of networks', the research analyses the recent transformations at three levels: the ICT infrastructure networks, the networks of production and consumption of ICTs in the local urban economy, and the diffusion of digital connectivity in everyday life. The results have been useful to spell out the main trends regarding urban functioning and the urban form. The book also presents the situation of digital connectivity in Buenos Aires and Lima, selected as case-studies because singular ICT-related processes are occurring in these two large metropolises."--BOOK JACKET.
