Recent years have witnessed a surge in public awareness concerning
the impact of world economic forces on cities. In this challenging
book, the author argues that though the consciousness is new the
phenomena themselves are not. For the past two centuries at least,
world economic, political and cultural forces have been major
factors shaping cities, patterns of urbanization and the physical
and spatial forms of the built environment. Anthony King believes
that the historical context of contemporary global restructuring
must be recognized if present-day urban and regional change is to
be properly understood. He explores and documents the cultural and
spatial links between metropolitan core and colonial periphery and
examines the historical foundations of the world urban system. He
also looks at the social production of building and urban form, and
demonstrates their potential for understanding economic, political,
socail and cultural change on a global scale.
