What is an integrated city?

An integrated city is developed as a whole, by examining the existing city and identifying areas which have been neglected. ‘Civic software’ is still new and can be utilised to work out problems. Those who advocate this concept aim for at a ‘do-it-yourself ’ city which does not need government departments and funds. They look at integrating the city with a transport system which connects all areas and urban design which taps local resources. Liverpool is the first city with such a project at hand.
