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 in 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. 394 pp. Artikel-Nr. 70690
