Thesis topic
Wired High Rise:
A case study in new forms of governance
Thesis abstract
This research builds on a case study of a public-private partnership
between a social enterprise and the Victorian Office of Housing to donate
to all residents of a large high rise public housing estate personal
computers connected to an intranet and the internet. The research will
examine the Reach for the Clouds Project and a similar project in the
US to investigate what they tell us about the transformation of governance
and in particular how they shed light on key concepts such as public-private
partnerships, social capital and wired communities.
