The Globalizing Cities Reader

Herausgeber: Keil, Roger; Ren, Xuefei

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The revised volume reflects how the geographies of theory have recently shifted away from the northern and western vantage points from which much of the classic work in this field was developed. It contains 38 new selections, and reflects the fact that world and global city studies have evolved in exciting and wide-ranging ways. The book will be a key resource for students and scholars alike who seek an accessible compendium of the intellectual foundations of this research field as well as an overview of the major new research horizons that are currently being explored to decipher emergent patterns of early 21st century urbanization.
