"This book is a welcome addition to the rapidly growing literature
on global cities ... The individual contributors remain closely
on-message and the editors are to be commended for providing a very
clear statement of the central argument and for distilling the
arguments into a comprehensive and convincing conclusion...The
specialised nature of the topic, and the fact that this volume will
be of most interest to research and final-year students of urban
studies rather than to first-or second-year undergraduates. Among
such an audience, it merits a wide readership." David Clark,
Coventry University
"This is a highly valuable book, combining theoretical arguments
with detailed empirical work. This book broadens the scholarly
discussion of global cities and offers important insights into the
interpretation of local and global processes in a wide range of
settings." H-Urban by Mark D. Bjelland, Department of Geography,
Gustavus Adolphus College, Minnesota.
"Globalizing cities, a new spatial order? is a welcome addition to
a growing scholarly literature on the processes of globalization
... this volume is a substantial contribution to what is perhaps
one of the most important issues confronting the future of cities."
Progress in Development Studies
"These excellent essays focus primarily on recent changes in the
spatial organization of selected large metropolitan areas ... By
concentrating on the details, the authors have liberated us from
the glosses of the global cities literature and prepared us to
revise our generalizations. The debate they have opened will engage
us for at least the next decade." European Planning Studies
