Abstract:

Municipalities require, generate, and process large volumes of information, much of which is ideally suited for computer processing. Yet municipal computer use has barely begun. In municipal services, therefore, the computer information utility could come to play quite important roles. Major economic and social pressures indicate that it will do so only if it is carefully conceived and designed, not to supply glamorous technology but to satisfy municipalities needs. A discussion is made of possibilities.
