Subject: New Book of Interest
Dear Joanne
Our recent book may be of interest to readers of Cyber Society Live.
Kenneth Corey and I are pleased to announce that our new book just has been
released by Routledge. The book's particulars are:
Kenneth E. Corey and Mark I. Wilson (2006) Urban and
Regional Technology Planning: Planning Practice in the Global
Knowledge
Economy, London and New York: Routledge.
The contribution of the book is to empower regional and urban planners to
work with and mobilize other local stakeholders to engage and plan for the
opportunities and challenges that are presented by the forces of
globalization. A principal theme is that these forces are facilitated by
information and communications technologies (ICT). A further emphasis is
the need for local communities to be innovative and planful by creating
productive content for the ICTs to enable.
The book's message is constructed from analyses of global knowledge economy
trends, relational planning theory and local knowledge-economy cases from
the global economy's three primary technology-economic regions from Eastern
Asia, Western Europe and North America. For additional information on the
book, refer to: www.planningpractice.org
Best wishes, Mark
Mark Wilson
Director, Urban and Regional Planning Program Associate Professor, Urban
Planning and Geography Michigan State University www.mark-wilson.org
