In cities throughout the world, there is an increasingly ubiquitous
presence of distinct social and spatial areas - urban villages,
cultural and ethnic quarters. These spaces are sites where capital
and culture intertwine in new ways. City of Quarters brings
together some of the most prominent authors writing about urban
villages to provide the first systematic and multi-disciplinary
overview of this high-profile urban phenomenon. They address key
questions such as 'What is the role of urban villages and quarters
in the contemporary city?' and 'What are the economic, political,
socio-spatial and cultural practices and processes that surround
these urban spaces?' Blending conceptual chapters with
theoretically directed case studies from all over the world, this
book includes issues such as local and regional development
strategies, production, consumption, the creative industries,
popular culture, identity, lifestyle, and tourism.
