Current issues are examined including the effects of the intersection of global issues - such as economic restructuring and migration - with national and local\u003cbr\u003e influences, such as race, politics and culture. The international contributors to the volume use a series of case studies of cities ranging from New York to Calcutta, Frankfurt to Tokyo, Rio to Singapore, Brussels to Sydney, to discuss actual contemporary urban spatial change. In the concluding chapter, the editors summarize the contributions and present readers with a modification of the original\u003cbr\u003e hypothesis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989300297957,"sku":"NP9780631212904","price":43.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631212904.jpg?v=1761783575","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/globalizing-cities-isbn-9780631212904","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
