Global city-thinking has, in the past years, had a very real pull
on society. Global cities seem an unavoidable fact of everyday
world affairs. This volume gathers a forum that integrates the
extensive set of disciplinary dimensions to which the
interdisciplinary concept of the global city can help to tackle the
policy challenges of today's metropolises. Its chapters are drawn
from viewpoints including the cultural, economic, historical,
postcolonial, virtual, architectural, literary, security and
political dimensions of global cities. Tasked with providing a
rejoinder to the global city scholarship from each of these
perspectives, the authors illustrate what twin analytical and
practical challenges emerge from juxtaposing these stances to the
concept of the 'global city'. They rely not solely on theory but
also on sample case studies either drawn from long-lived global
cities such as New York, Shanghai and London, or emerging
metropolises like Dubai, Cape Town and Sydney.
