Abstract
Modern information and communication technologies are leaving the company and the work place, and are entering everyday life in a fast pace [1, 2, 4]. As a consequence, new research fields emerge focusing on the design, evaluation, and implications of ICT based systems for social and urban life, the field of digital cities research being one of those. This volume gives a broad and up to date overview of the research done in this field.
For an earlier overview of digital city research: [7]. For an extensive description and analysis of six digital cities: [8]
