商品簡介
Rossi (human geography, U. of Cagliari) and Vanolo (geography and spatial planning, U. of Turin) analyze how the intimately interconnected processes and forces of globalization, post-Fordism, postmodernity, and neoliberalism have given rise to path-breaking changes in the urban experience. They cover urban development and the politics of representation; the rise of the creative city; ascent and crisis in urban neoliberalism; legitimate violence, terrorism, urbicide; struggles and movements in urban justice; and insurgencies and recognition in urban citizenship. The English translation is revised and expanded from the Italian Geogrofia Politica Urbana, published in 2010. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
