The last decade of the twentieth century marks a symbolic transition in the history of civilisation: the world's people have become more urban than rural. The world is now an urban place.
This book identifies and accounts for the characteristics of the contemporary city and of urban society. The latest theoretical and empirical developments are synthesised and presented in an accessible and engaging way.
Emphasis throughout is placed upon the world scale, urban developments being seen as the geographical consequences of capitalism.
Individual chapters on:
* populations and places
* growth and urbanisation
* urban development as a global phenomenon
* lifestyles in the city
* global urban society
* world cities
* the urban future
