The globalizing cities reader

'The Globalizing Cities Reader' reflects how the geographies of theory have recently shifted away from the western vantage points from which much of the classic work in this field was developed.

The expanded volume continues to make available many of the original and foundational works that underpin the research field, while expanding coverage to familiarise students with new theoretical and epistemological positions as well as emerging research foci and horizons.

It contains 38 new chapters, including key writings on globalising cities from leading thinkers such as John Friedmann, Michael Peter Smith, Saskia Sassen, Peter Taylor, Manuel Castells, Anthony King, Jennifer Robinson, Ananya Roy and Fulong Wu.
