`place’ and in turn highlight issues and choices confronting planning practice. All the contributors draw on examples from a range of environments to illustrate their discussion. Servon starts by providing an overview of the myths surrounding the diffusion of digital technologies drawing in particular on her experience in the USA. The role of computer-based technologies in creating or destroying place-based community is further examined in Hampton’s article which focuses particular attention on the case study of Netville, USA. In contrast, Dabinett explores the implications of ICTs for regional economic planning incorporating useful illustrations from practice in Great Britain. Graham also largely takes Britain as the context in which he examines the rapid and extensive take-up of CCTV. Both Graham and Dabinett issue salutary warnings to practitioners and policy makers not to be naõ È ve, particularly about the exclusionary and divisive potential of technologies. Finally, Kopomaa utilizes his experience from Finland to explore how the widespread diffusion of mobile phones has in ̄ uenced understanding of the value of community and its relationship to speci® c places. All the subsequent comments represent the personal views of the authors and not the organizations for which they work.
