Framework
The Transit project has been
organized under the financial support of the Institut Cerdà of
Barcelona, following a personal decision of its chairman Pere
Duran Farell.
Objectives
The objective of the transit project
was to descript draft-projects that could ease the transition to the
communication society.
Methodology
In a first step, I had to write an
early version of the drafts. Afterwards, they were submitted to a
pool of experts for their evaluation. On the basis of the collected
opinions, the draft-projects were refined.

The Transit meeting produced the
following document:
Transition
to a new society
(Manifesto of Barcelona) Most
of the initiatives proposed by the Transit project, even if they
were written at the beginning of the 90's, before the Internet explosion,
keep nowadays its full freshness and meaning. I hope it will be
feasible to launch some of them, in the years to come. |
