The raison d'etre of the book is the provision of a broadly based interdisciplinary forum in which some of the salient societal and technical issues flowing form this development are presented, discussed and critiqued. This book brings together in its title the complementary triad of linked elements that together define the character of today's local social milieu, namely the physical neighbourhood, the local community residing therein, and, not least, the communication infrastructure that crucially facilitates communal organisation and operation. 4aNetworking, Social a09638/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a09637/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a09638/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a09637/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a09637/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a09638/MKRI-P/XI-2008
