This is the archive for DDS (De Digitale Stad) related documents: reports, research, papers, interviews, essays, etc. I collected this for my thesis on DDS: The Rise and Fall of DDS. What I actually used is in the bibliography.
I assume for all documents I mirrored that they are out of print and that the author is not harmed if I publish it here. If this is not the case, let me know. I also welcome extra material.
As Castells noticed, in 2001 I launched a successor to De Digitale Stad (DDS) as De echte Digitale Stad (DeDS), the actual digital city. Offering free homepages and e-mail with an emphasis on privacy protection. There are thousands of users and I am a board member in the association that makes it possible, aptly called Open Domein (Open Domain). For example, you can park your webpages that would otherwise disappear from the web. If it is database driven, just freeze it first using wget. Also, you can get a free e-mail address that is not read by anyone or anything but you.
