Urban Now illuminates our present urban condition. John Rennie
Short captures the main features of this moment of urban
significance, investigating the city as a crucial arena
strategically located between global flows and national surfaces.

imaginaries, climate change, Covid-19 and public health, traffic,
technology, and everyday life. Conducting poignant analyses of a
diverse group of changing cities, including Cali, Megalopolis,
Mparntwe and Syracuse, the book explores questions surrounding
postcolonial culture, deindustrialization, social inclusion,
informal economies, and new class relationships. Short ultimately
highlights the progressive possibilities and redemptive power of
the urban experience to change lives and attitudes. Providing a
theoretically sophisticated and empirically informed assessment of
public policies, this unique book will prove an essential tool for
students and scholars of urban and regional studies, human
geography, sociology and social policy. Practical in scope, its
appeal will extend to policymakers and practitioners with an
interest in cities, urban development, globalization and
urbanization.

stepchild's life and grow in your faith along the way. Seasoned
stepmom Laurie Polich Short understands and empathizes with the
difficult job you face. Drawing on extensive research, biblical
teaching, and her own real-life experience (including an insightful
chapter cowritten with her stepson, Jordan), Laurie provides
practical and spiritual advice to help you fully embrace and
succeed in your role as stepparent. Whether you are about to become
a stepparent or are further along on your journey, this
compassionate and insightful resource offers the hope, help, and
encouragement you've been looking for.
