The book examines the emergence of global cities as a new social formation. As sites of rapid and widespread developments in the areas of finance, information and people, global cities lie at the core of the major processes of globalization. The book also features a cross-disciplinary approach to urban sociology using global examples and examines the impact of global processes on the social structure of cities. -- From the Publisher
