Abstract:
Global Urbanism is an experimental examination of how urban scholars and activists make sense of, and act upon, the foundational relationship between the 'global' and the 'urban'. It is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students in geography, sociology, planning, anthropology, and the field of urban studies.
