One of the characteristic features of modern cities is the multitude of network-type relations resulting from the nature of the information-based economy. Contemporary ideas about the city focus among others on the problems of sustainable development, ubiquity of information and communication technologies (ICT) and concentration of the creative class in innovative centres of services and industry.
