This book provides new insights into popular understandings of
urbanism by using a wide range of case studies from lesser studied
cities across the Global South and Global North to present evidence
for the need to reconstruct our understanding of who and what makes
urban environments. Myers explores the global hierarchy of cities,
the criteria for positioning within these hierarchies and the
successes of various policymaking approaches designed specifically
to boost a city's ranking. Engaging heavily with postcolonial
studies and Global South thinking, he shows how cities construct
one another's spaces and calls for a new understanding of planetary
urbanism that moves beyond Western-centric perspectives.
