Abstract: The potential uses of data as information in urban systems are infinite. Information technology both facilitates man’s use of data and increases his perceptions of possible uses. Such technology is represented by computers, telecommunications, and management science techniques. An inherent feature of the technology’s application is that there is a close relation between the technical capability available at any one time and the perceived uses of that capability. Perceptions both shape and are limited by the capabilities developed. New capabilities generate new perceptions of use.
