Today is a new metropolitan age and for the first time ever more
people live in cities than they do anywhere else. As cities
strengthen their international and cultural influence, the global
world is acted out most articulately in the world's urban hubs -
through its diverse cultures, broad networks and innovative styles
of governance. Looking at the city through its internal dynamics,
the book examines how governance and cultural policy play out in a
national and international framework.
Making a truly global contribution to the literature, editors
Isar and Anheier bring together a truly international and
highly-respected collection of scholars. In doing so, they
skilfully steer debates beyond the city as an economic powerhouse,
to cover issues that fully comprehend a city's cultural dynamics
and its impact on policy including alternative economies,
creativity, migration, diversity, sustainability, education and
urban planning.
Innovative in its approach and content, this book is ideal for
students, scholars and researchers interested in sociology, urban
studies, cultural studies, and public policy.
