This concise yet comprehensive overview of the political and
economic development of the world's cities offers a unique emphasis
on its cultural impacts. The book emphasizes the transition from
modern (industrial) to post-modern (post-industrial) eras and its
effect on established and developing global cities, and arguments
are supported with case studies for each of the main concepts of
urban theory and research. Mark Abrahamson analyzes contemporary
global cities - ranging from Lagos to Los Angeles, Paris to Beijing
- helping students relate concepts to concrete places and
understand the global nature of contemporary urban development.
Rigorous yet accessible, this textbook includes key learning
features designed to enrich student understanding and engagement,
including chapter-by-chapter glossaries, summaries, and suggestions
for further reading.
