Arguing that the focus in global urban studies on cities such as
New York, London, Tokyo in the global North, Mexico City and
Shanghai in the developing world, and other major nodes of the
world economy, has skewed the concept of the global city toward
economics, this volume gathers a diverse group of contributors to
focus on smaller and less economically dominant cities. It
highlights other important and relatively ignored themes such as
cultural globalization, alternative geographies of the global, and
the influence of deeper urban histories (particularly those
relating to colonialism) in order to advance an alternative view of
the global city.
