Digital cities arise as territory boosters and segregated spaces reintegrators. Cities<br />
are restructured by the new technologies that reduce integration time between<br />
urban core and rural districts, and create new streams of territorial integration.<br />
The progress towards even more intensive societies concerning information and<br />
knowledge will require cultural changes in management and planning sectors, imposing<br />
a coordinated government action, creating the capacity to provide information<br />
and knowledge as a public asset. And as long as poverty is also related to basic<br />
rights and access to public assets, voice and <strong>da</strong>ta transmission system establishment<br />
with universal access, broadband Internet in schools and community radio stations,<br />
the use of technological alternatives on job searches, in cooperative products commercialization<br />
and micro-credit system provision allow a more effective action in<br />
programs against poverty. As the slogan of Piraí Digital and Rio <strong>da</strong>s Flores Digital<br />
program states: Technology is the means, information is a right.<br />
