'This book, although relatively short, is a tour de force. The book
is elegantly written, offering a persuasive narrative in which the
arguments and the prose flow smoothly from one theme to another.
The reader is pulled along various lines of argument running
parallel, but ultimately these are brought back together in a
concluding synthesis. This is a superb book. I know of no other
recent volume with a similar broad scope, internal cohesion, and
argumentative rigour, as well as persuasive writing style. I
strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in global
economic transformations and the expanded role of global city
regions.' - Larry S. Bourne, Canadian Studies in Population This
innovative volume offers an in-depth analysis of the many ways in
which new forms of capitalism in the 21st century are affecting and
altering the processes of urbanization. Beginning with the recent
history of capitalism and urbanization and moving into a thorough
and complex discussion of the modern city, this book outlines the
dynamics of what the author calls the third wave of urbanization,
characterized by global capitalism s increasing turn to forms of
production revolving around technology-intensive artifacts,
financial services, and creative commodities such as film, music,
and fashion. The author explores how this shift toward a cognitive
and cultural economy has caused dramatic changes in the modern
economic landscape in general and in the form and function of world
cities in particular. Armed with cutting-edge research and decades
of expertise, Allen J. Scott breaks new ground in identifying and
explaining how the cities of the past are being reshaped into a
complex system of global economic spaces marked by intense
relationships of competition and cooperation. Professors and
students in areas such as geography, urban planning, sociology, and
economics will find much to admire in this pioneering volume, as
will journalists, policy-makers, and other professionals with an
interest in urban studies.
