Abstract: Abstract At the threshold of the 21st century, any policy decision concerning transport, whether strategic, political or economic, must inevitably take into consideration other means of communication, and in particular the New Information Technologies (NIT). These are rapidly changing the ways in which we communicate and interact, influencing the functional and spatial organization of activities and hence patterns of mobility. Such changes are part of a wider framework of social and economic transformation - the globalization of the economy, the growing importance of the service sector and the crisis in the welfare state - which are leading us to revise the way in which urban policies are both conceived and implemented (Amin 1994, Harris 1994, Batten et al. 1995).
