review: Editorial Reviews Review "Digital Cities forcefully and persuasively demonstrates how place matters for understanding and addressing the challenges of innovation and inequality. The authors impressively marshal extensive new data and careful analyses to illuminate significant research perspectives and to open crucial policy questions."--William Barnes, National League of Cities "The authors of Digital Cities argue, convincingly, that current policy shortchanges American cities and thereby innumerable Americans regarding the potential economic and social benefits of digital technologies. Through detailed analyses and interpretation of a wealth of data, Digital Cities offers important fresh insight about who is being left behind, why this matters, and what can be done to rectify the situation."--Eszter Hargittai, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, Northwestern University "Digital Cities is an indispensable guide to what we know about broadband adoption patterns and how they matter to the economic and social development of communities. It is a 'must read' for state, local, and national policymakers."--John B. Horrigan, Vice President, The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies About the Author Karen Mossberger is Professor of Public Administration at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
