GLOBAL NETWORKS, LINKED CITIES (P/B)

Παρουσίαση

Saskia Sassen's highly influential ''global cities'' thesis has fundamentally reshaped urban studies and globalization studies in the past decade. In this innovative collection, Sassen and a distinguished group of contributors extend the thesis to consider the informational architecture binding these cities together in dense networks. They also concentrate on emerging global cities in the South - Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Beirut, the Dubai-Iran corridor, and Buenos Aires - which are fast becoming key nodes in the emerging global urban system.
