N2 - The increasing importance of urban systems, and the accelerating integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into urban infrastructure at all scales, create new and fundamental challenges for engineers and policymakers. While our understanding of the implications of these developments is quite primitive at this point, a promising approach is to select appropriate case studies that may then be generalized to other situations. One that immediately suggests itself is the complicated physical, functional, and cultural relationship between ICT and transportation infrastructures.
