CyberCity, the "urban" organization inside the wire and the collective hard drive. See for example, Howard Rheingold's Virtual Community, " and William Mitchell's City of Bits. What's missing is the design for the physical metropolis into which AutoCity must morph in order to become sustainable and provide universal access to CyberCity. In other words, AutoCity can be retrofit with new policies, infrastructure, organizations and practices to make it more human and environment friendly, more cost-effective to operate, and more of a gateway to CyberCity. TeleCity is the name I have given to that place.

Digital Earth and many other satellite and semiconductor-enabled cartography advances imply the need for a globally useful schema for more scientific and eco-ethical management of cities. How should we plan an internationally cohesive and locally effective system for understanding and managing urban stocks and flows around our planet? The answer to this question depends on new systems for managing geodata to underpin increasingly automated systems for evidence-based decision making. The current concept of Digital Earth as a "self-aware nervous system" is being advanced by urban proto-projects that are supported or followed by globally applicable initiatives including Singapore's new Geospatial Masterplan, the International Standards Organization's City Standards, Denmark's Open Public Life Data Protocol, and the City-GML data model. These recent ventures are progressing a movement that extends far beyond the 1990s concepts of "smart cities" enabled by wireless telecommunications. In the Digital Earth science paradigm, cities must simulate their key situations and scenarios and analyze Earth observation data obtained via satellite-enabled devices that remotely detect and interpret all the light and radio waves of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Since the early 1990s, and particularly with the popularization of the Internet and the World Wide Web, a wave of experiments and initiatives has emerged, aiming at acilitating city functions such as community activities, local economies and municipal ervices. This chapter reviews advancements of worldwide activities focused on the creation of regional information spaces. In the US and Canada, a large number f community networks using the city metaphor appeared in the early 1990s.

A lot of urban functions (commerce, health, education, finance, etc.) are transferring from the real city to the network, through a process called functional “virtualization” (Fistola, 1999), a consistent part of their services for the user generating, in this way, new telematic activities (e-commerce, telemedicine, home banking, on line trading, etc.). The technological innovation has made available products and trials that are assembled in the city and that are quickly spreading itself inside the different fields of the urban activity. A kind of new urban dimension is growing up therefore, already called in different ways (intelligent city, city of bits, virtual city, digital city, etc.) built by electronic places (town hall, bank, library, hospital, etc.) accessible by the net: the M.E-tropolis (Fistola, 2001). By taking that into consideration, from a town planning point of view, it is necessary to envisage how the scenario of the urban system will be in the future. The adoption...

This paper reviews worldwide activities on regional information spaces. In the US and Canada, a large number of community networks appeared in the early 1990s. As a platform for community networks, information spaces using the city metaphor are being developed worldwide. In Europe, more than one hundred digital cities have been tried. Asian countries are actively adopting the latest information technologies for city informatization.

Digital cities, intelligent cities, knowledge-based cities, and smart cities are designations that refer to the permeation of the digital into the daily life of cities and the resulting exponential growth and accessibility of urban resources. This digital/technological component can be summarized in the fol- lowing categories: 􏰉 􏰊􏰋􏰌􏰋 􏰍􏰋􏰎􏰌􏰏􏰐􏰑􏰒􏰓 􏰔􏰐􏰕􏰖􏰗􏰌􏰕 􏰘􏰕􏰒􏰘􏰑􏰒􏰓􏰙 􏰚􏰛􏰊􏰜􏰝􏰞􏰉 􏰟􏰗􏰠􏰕􏰡􏰘 􏰔􏰢􏰊 􏰐􏰕􏰎􏰐􏰕􏰘􏰕􏰒􏰌􏰋􏰌􏰑􏰗􏰒􏰘􏰙 􏰘􏰑􏰓􏰒􏰘􏰙 􏰘􏰣􏰖􏰤􏰗􏰒􏰑􏰍 􏰦􏰑􏰘􏰏􏰋􏰡􏰑􏰧􏰋􏰌􏰑􏰗􏰒􏰘 􏰔􏰨􏰊 􏰐􏰕􏰎􏰐􏰕􏰘􏰕􏰒􏰌􏰋􏰌􏰑􏰗􏰒􏰘 􏰑􏰒 􏰘􏰎􏰋􏰍􏰕 􏰋􏰒􏰠 􏰌􏰑􏰩􏰎􏰕􏰐􏰋􏰌􏰑􏰗􏰒􏰋􏰡 􏰌􏰗􏰗􏰡􏰘 􏰔􏰘􏰖􏰋􏰐􏰌 􏰌􏰕􏰍􏰥􏰒􏰗􏰡􏰗􏰓 􏰐􏰗􏰤􏰗􏰌􏰑􏰒􏰕The first three items are related mostly to the digital knowledge and represen- tation of cities through time and space, while the last concerns the function- ality of the city in modern and future time.
