Processes of both embodied and electronically enabled mutual support,
collaborative norm setting, reciprocity, trust building and so on will need
to be put to the service of activities associated with creating sustainable
environments in cities. There is thus a very considerable scope, even a
requirement for concerted efforts towards the development of an urban
community informatics movement.
