[ecrea] Open call for book chapters. Theme: Cities

Intellect Books will launch its ‘Mediated Cities’ book series with three 
volumes at the conference ‘Digital-Cultural Ecology and the Medium-Sized 
City’, April 2016. Bristol, UK.

Themes include how can the medium sized city resist the hegemony of 
capital cities through the use of new technologies; how do new medias 
facilitate engagement in city wide debates from community activists; 
does the digital age alter the economy and or culture of how cities are 
managed.

Papers submitted to this conference will form the backbone of the fourth 
book in the series. To submit, visit:
