Product Description
Urban planners who need to design information systems require an understanding of systems analysis, data acquisition and GIS. In recent times the need has been to make computer-based maps by using a GIS, but planners now need tools for co-operative work using groupware systems, for global visualisation and real-time monitoring of urban activities and phenomena. Planners have moved beyond drawing land use plans, to examining the evolution of urban activities to monitor and analyse urban societal and environmental problems.Both practitioners and students will find this book useful, provided they have an adequate grounding in computing, data analysis and GIS and they are looking to use and design computer systems for developing maps and written statements for city planning. Therefore, novel tools like using multimedia information systems and GIS will become an increasingly important, eventually essential part of the job.

'It will soon be regarded as the pioneering work within a stream of literature that will likely to follow in the years to come.’
From the Back Cover
Urban planners who need to design information systems require an understanding of systems analysis, data acquisition and geographical information systems (GIS). In recent years the need has emerged for computer-based maps made using a GIS, but planners now require tools for co-operative work using groupware systems, for global visualisation and real-time monitoring of urban activities and phenomena. Planners have moved beyond the drawing of land-use plans, to examining the evolution of urban activities, and on to monitoring and analysing urban societal and environmental problems.
Both practitioners and students can use this book. It will be particularly useful for those looking to use and design computer systems for the development of maps and written statements for city planning.
