Since the late 1970s the role of key world cities such as Los
Angeles, New York and London as centres of global control and
co-ordination has come under increasing scrutiny. This book
provides an overview and critique of work on the global context of
metropolitan growth, world city formation and the theory it has
generated. Suggesting 'post-imperialism' as the most appropriate
framework for analysis, the author demonstrates the extent to which
urban and regional development, both in Britain and elsewhere, were
linked to a colonial mode of production, and highlights the effects
of its disappearance. Against this background, the author charts
the transformation of London from imperial capital in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to world city in the
capitalist world economy of today.
