Description
This book provides historical and comparative perspectives on topical questions, examining in particular the impact of global and local forces on urban development in the long term, the cities' capacity to rise to the challenge and their continuous needs to both enhance and contain diversity. These themes are developed by exploring different aspects of urban development such as counter-urbanisation, cultural innovations, changes in spatial form, migration and identity formation.
