Introduction

Abstract

The Introduction to Digital Cities concisely integrates the three components central to the urban geo-humanities that are so often treated in isolation from one another: first, the interdisciplinary nature of the city as an object of inquiry; second, the position taken by various methodological approaches to the urban phenomenon relative to overlapping disciplinary traditions; and third, a theoretical understanding of the interdisciplinary structure and conception of current and future digital city projects. This triple articulation of an interdisciplinary object-methodtheory is the expression of a single argument.
