Описание: Over half the world’s population lives in cities: few people today are not impacted by global flows of capital, culture, or command – and no-one can escape the global impacts of climate. This key, concise textbook focuses on the dynamics and impacts of globalization affecting all cities, both in the Global North and Global South. Accessibly written by practising lecturers on the subject, the book features: • learning objectives for each chapter, with discussion questions; • case studies and key point summary boxes; • suggested further readings and glossary of key concepts. Considering not just the outlier cities that appear to dominate globalizing processes, but also the everyday cities that people are most likely to interact with, this text will address the extremely complex issues encompassed in the relationship between urbanization and globalization today and in the coming years.
