Global Cities examines the distinctive commercial, residential, and
spatial features of the major cities of the contemporary
world--cities housing the financial and cultural activities that
are most consequential for everyone, regardless of where they live.
The development of these influential cities is intimately related
to the emergence of modern telecommunications, the growth of
multinational corporations, the internationalization of economic
activity, and the increased movement of cultural symbols and
artifacts across national lines.
Accessible to readers with little background in sociology or
social science, Global Cities analyzes numerous contemporary issues
to illustrate concepts and processes pertaining to the most
significant global cities. These concrete examples facilitate
students' general understanding and show them the contemporary
relevance of the material. The book offers a detailed and
multifaceted picture of such leading urban centers as London, New
York, Tokyo, and Paris, but also branches out to other important
cities in the world. It analyzes both the internal features of the
cities and the nature of their connections with each other. Global
Cities is ideal for undergraduate courses in urban sociology and
other social sciences.
