This Handbook offers an unrivaled overview of current research into
how globalization is affecting the external relations and internal
structures of major cities in the world. By treating cities at a
global scale, it focuses on the 'stretching' of urban functions
beyond specific place locations, without losing sight of the
multiple divisions in contemporary world cities. The book firmly
bases city networks in their historical context, critically
discusses contemporary concepts and key empirical measures, and
analyzes major issues relating to world city infrastructures,
economies, governance and divisions. The variety of urban outcomes
in contemporary globalization is explored through detailed case
studies. Edited by leading scholars of the Globalization and World
Cities (GaWC) Research Network and written by over 60 experts in
the field, the Handbook is a unique resource for students,
researchers and academics in urban and globalization studies as
well as for city professionals in planning and policy.
