The youthful vigour of urbanization in North America has
promulgated a dominant perspective on urban theory, specifically on
suburbs, that establishes the United States as the norm against
which all other contexts are measured. However, much of the
vocabulary surrounding the American experience isn't applicable to
the wider world. Old Europe, New Suburbanization? takes us on a
journey of rediscovery into some of Europe's oldest metropolises.
The volume's contributors reveal the great variety of patterns and
processes of urbanization that make Europe a fruitful ground for
furthering the diversity of global suburbanisms. The effects of
urban history found in such cities as Athens, London, Madrid,
Montpellier, and Sofia, varies greatly due to the sheer variety of
economic, industrial, land, and expansionist policies at play on
the continent. This collection highlights the varied historical and
geographical manifestations that have shaped urban areas and
provides evidence for new processes of suburbanization.
