Cities and city regions are undergoing rapid transformation. They
are prime locations of innovation, while at the same time facing
growing problems of spatial fragmentation and social exclusion. By
addressing these problems, cities become forerunners for new
patterns of governance, which include increasingly private actors.
While research on 'global' cities has focused primarily on the
world's leading financial and economic centres, comparative
research on the changing role of large, complex cities in the
developing world is less advanced. But it is here, where public
problems are most seriously threatening the cohesion of urban
society and where the need for new answers is most urgent.
Illustrated by in-depth examinations of four city regions:
Shanghai, Mumbai, Johannesburg and Sao Paulo, this book readdresses
this balance. The book revisits the same set of cities from
different angles, thereby reflecting urban contradictions,
juxtapositions, and disjunctures.
