The historical development and geography of cities are examined through three key themes: evolving urbanization patterns, cities as global production centers, and the varied housing needs of urban populations. The book addresses critical urban issues and the political challenges they entail, supported by empirical evidence from urban contexts worldwide. This comprehensive analysis provides a foundational understanding of urban form and function in the modern era.

Relates global processes to daily experience, fully integrating diverse politics across geographical scales, providing an essential introduction to the growth and impact of globalization. Softcover.
