As with many contemporary urban trends, then, uneven global interconnection via advanced telecommunications becomes subtly combined with local disconnection in the production of urban space (see Amin and Graham, 1998). Opportunities to use new electronic technologies to extend one s social and economic actions across space are thus being configured highly unevenly within and between the material geographies of contemporary cities. In fact, the detailed patterns of telecommunications investment in global ....

Through a relational perspective (see Amin and Graham, 1997, 1998), I aim here to develop such an understanding by attempting to address intra urban, inter urban and transplanetary optic 6 fibre connections (and disconnections) in parallel. I would argue that such an approach is necessary given the logics inherent within the Network Society, which force us to ....
