Resumen: The cities and regions of the world are being transformed under the combined impact of a restructuring of the capitalist system and a technological revolution. The nature of space, place and distance has changed fundamentally. This is the thesis of this book: Manuel Castells not only brings together an impressive array of evidence to support it but puts forward a new body of theory to explain it. 'The Informational City is a major achievement, a real tour-de-force. Although many other social scientists have been groping their way towards an understanding of the new economy and society, Castells has leap-frogged them all to produce the definitive analysis that will surely stand for years to come. It is as distinctive an achievement in its own way as were the works of Galbraith, Bell and other major theorists of a generation ago, and it invites comparison with the great sociological analyses of industrialism.'
