Abstract
Digital City Bristol (DCB) aims to stimulate the provision of a sustainable and visually appealing Internet resource. Users of DCB can access public information about the city of Bristol, its organisations and its inhabitants. The web site is based around a graphical interface of piers in a harbour, each of which represents a different theme such as leisure, business, education or community groups. Initiated by Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, the project was developed with help of Bristol City Council, the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol Evening Post and City NetGates Ltd. The pilot site was launched in March 1997.
