Summary "The study of the city, its display and dissemination are part of the information network of Digital Cities. This book compiles contributions on the city across space and time in a digital context. The chapters are from a variety of authors with different scientific and professional backgrounds. Past cities in the digital realm are presented as simultaneously memory, imagination and experience. The ever interchangeable character of the past, present and future is thus revisited and reformulated in the digital era. city; digital city; digital archaeology; cyberarchaeology; digital heritage; history; archaeology; urban history; architectural history; art history"-- Provided by publisher
