"Global Urbanism is an experimental examination of how urban scholars and activists make sense of, and act upon, the foundational relationship between the 'global' and the 'urban'. The contributors explore what global urbanism means to them, in their context, from the ground and struggles upon which they are working and living. This title is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students in geography, sociology, planning, anthropology, and the field of urban studies, for whom it will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current thinking across the range of disciplines and practices which converge in the study of urbanism"-- Provided by publisher.
