Rethinking Global Urbanism : Comparative Insights from Secondary Cities Paperback / softback
Edited by Xiangming Chen, Ahmed Kanna
Part of the Routledge Advances in Geography series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
