2021, CitiesCitation Excerpt :On the one hand, cities accumulate and maintain wealth by becoming nodes within the connection network. On the other hand, they are produced and reproduced by the flows of people and logistics through them (Hepworth, 1987). Most shrinking cities are located in remote areas, far from large cities.

This paper outlines the economic and technical dimensions of the information city and discusses its implications for urban planning. It presents a new conceptual approach to analysing the role of information-related activities in the economic base of metropolitan areas. Examples of applying this methodology are provided for Greater London and metropolitan Toronto. The technical infrastructure of the information city is described in terms of computer network innovations, as wide area (intercity), metropolitan area and local area systems. New directions in urban planning are suggested under the rubric of informatics in local economic development.
