About this book

This book provides a critical account, a state-of-the-art review, as well as novel research methods of information technology development and the corresponding changes of socio-economic spatial organization in China.

With the rapid development of the Internet over the past three decades, the development of information technology and its impact on social economy have become an important frontier issue of human and economic geography. Actually, the influence of information technology is complex and dynamic, involving almost all aspects of socio-economic activities and our daily life. It is also influencing the methods and disciplines that we use to understand it. In general, industrial development and regional management and innovation are the core contents of socio-economic spatial organization. Therefore, changes in industrial clusters, transportation logistics, regional development and innovation, urban planning and management, and rural development under the background of the information age were analysed to understand the relationship among information revolution, socio-economic spatial organization, and human and economic geography.

Primarily intended for scholars and graduate students across a range of disciplines, such as geography, urban-rural planning, information science, urban science, economics and sociology, and people engaged in regional planning, urban management and information management, this book proves to be an innovative and up-to-date resource.
