Opis

Globalization, the shape of cities, the future of cities, the increasing gap between rich and poor inhabitants, and ethnic and racial segregation, are the key themes of this book. Taking examples from cities from Sao Paulo to Istanbul, from New York to Edinburgh, and adding their own ideas, the authors examine what might be done to improve things for all those who live in cities.

Recenzje

Marcuse's history of the creation and successive transformations of the black ghetto in the US is particuarly good, as also is the account of the change from the communist to the post-communist era in Budapest and Polish cities.
