ABSTRACT

This chapter analyzes the relationship between new information technologies and their innovations regarding tele-activities in order to resolve problems such as local, regional and national unemployment, education, and transport, within and between growing cities and larger urban areas. Sociological comment on urbanization, urban way of life, urban social movement, and urban ecology, are some of the crucial aspects which concentrate on the new role of cities, the urban areas and the individual. The labor market, and its connection to unemployment, poverty and refugees are the classical social exclusion patterns in the cities. In Europe, the migration issue became a central theme, when in the eighties the idea of multi-culturalism was reinvented as a further step for the welfare state. The integration of new social environments and the lack of cultural identity are the basic obstacles for a prosperous city development.
