European Cities

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Failing that, the effects of changing scales could be expressed as profound transformations of the European urban model.

---

European cities are on the rise, taking advantage of the opportunities of the European integration and globalization processes. But they also face economic changes, social inequalities, poverty, and a new set of constraints. Taking examples through the European Union, the new book shows the impact of the transformation of the nation states on cities and the change of local societies and local governments. It argues that new modes of urban governance are emerging and that cities are becoming collective actors within the European governance.
