Book excerpt: Published in association with Indo-Dutch Programme on Alternatives in Development "The rise of ICT-related service industries is not only changing India's economy, but also reconfiguring its urban landscapes. This volume looks at the emergence of 'high-tech' India, together with 'high-tech' experiences in select Asian and European countries, from the perspective of geographers and other scholars interested in how society uses and transforms urban space. In most cities, spectacular new business districts are created; emphasizing difference by means of spatial separation from the rest of the city and a distinct style of architecture. Specific high-tech spaces first appeared in Western cities in the 1970s. In the last few decades, these high-tech spaces have spread around the world, producing distinct urban landscapes and spatial patterns. These differences reflect local conditions, as well as the demands made by leading companies, and the ambitions of local politicians that determine the ICT policies. The ICT and other high-tech industries offer opportunities for economic growth and development, but can also trigger social exclusion, uproot communities, widen urban disparities and more generally add to urbanization problems of pressure on infrastructure. This book takes a comparative approach in discussing the engagement of high-tech industries and urban space, and the associated problems and challenges. It presents a range of case studies of Indian cities, and also documents experiences in other Asian countries such as China, Malaysia, Korea and Singapore, and European countries like The Netherlands and France.

Book excerpt: n the past three decades, numerous high-tech city-regions have emerged with the rise of new high-tech industries across the world. Many of them have been specifically supported by national technology policies—in developed or developing countries—implemented to trigger economic growth and to enhance global competitiveness at the national and/or city-regional level. These policies have involved the development of high-tech spaces—including research science/technology parks, innovation centres, science cities, high-tech city-regions, and so on—albeit in different ways. This issue of A+BE applies a comparative approach to explore the major factors that shape the practices of spatial planning in hightech development. The Eindhoven city-region in the Netherlands and the Hsinchu city-region in Taiwan are selected as case study areas. Both city-regions can be recognised as success stories of high-tech development not only on a national scale but also on a global scale, despite the fact that they apply different approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection stages a dynamic scholarly debate about the ambivalent workings of technocapitalism and humanism in urban spaces. Such workings are intended to provide multiple forms of autonomy and empowerment but instead create intolerable contradictions that are experienced in the form of a slavish adherence to machines. Representing the novelty of a post-anthropocentric grammar, this book points towards a new ethical and political praxis. It challenges the anthropocentrism of bio-politics and neoliberalism in order to express the constitutive potential of an eco-sensible ‘new earth’.

Book excerpt: Science parks are becoming established in increasing numbers in almost all parts of the world. Promoted as places on the frontiers of science where a new breed of scientist-entrepreneur invents a new future, extolled as high-status workplaces where a new style of employee and flexible labour process is in the making, they are seen as the potential saviours of local and national economies. High-Tech Fantasies criticises the divisive hype of science parks arguing that both the theory and practice are unproductive for the economy and for any socially progressive science and technology. Questioning responsibility, innovation and symbolism, the authors explore the mutual determination of society, science and space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been numerous possible scenarios depicted on the impact of the internet on urban spaces. Considering ubiquitous/pervasive computing, mobile, wireless connectivity and the acceptance of the Internet as a non-extraordinary part of our everyday lives mean that physical urban space is augmented, and digital in itself. This poses new problems as well as opportunities to those who have to deal with it. This book explores the intersection and articulation of physical and digital environments and the ways they can extend and reshape a spirit of place. It considers this from three main perspectives: the implications for the public sphere and urban public or semi-public spaces; the implications for community regeneration and empowerment; and the dilemmas and challenges which the augmentation of space implies for urbanists. Grounded with international real -life case studies, this is an up-to-date, interdisciplinary and holistic overview of the relationships between cities, communities and high technologies.
