The majority of the world's population now live in cities, nearly a
quarter of which boast populations of one million or more. The rise
of globalisation has granted cities unprecedented significance,
both politically and economically, leading to benefits and problems
at national and international levels. The Handbook of Emerging
21st-Century Cities explores the changes that are occurring in
cities, and the impacts that they are having, at the local,
national and global scale. Bringing together voices from around the
world, this Handbook provides an interdisciplinary view of the
changes that are happening in emerging cities, examining a range of
topics from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. With
chapters covering changes in urban economies, social dynamics, and
emerging technology this Handbook radically rethinks the dynamics
of cities in the 21st century, including those in the global south.
The Handbook of Emerging 21st-Century Cities is an important
addition to the literature, and is a useful resource for students
of geography, economics, sociology, anthropology and urban
planning. Its insights will also be of value for public
administrators and urban planners, and anyone else whose work
impacts on, or is impacted by, cities. Contributors include: R.
