Saskia Sassen is Professor of Urban Planning at Columbia University.
"This is a very significant book indeed. It is as important as
Castells's The Informational City."---Peter Hall, International
Journal of Urban and Regional Research
"[A] high-powered and at times horrific book. [Sassen] shows how
dangerously city life has been affected by the influx of employees
of the multinational firms which move into major cities, and
virtually colonise them, driving even greater wedges between the
rich and poor, the compulsive spending classes and low-paid part
time labour attendant on their whims."
*The Observer*
"This is brilliant stuff, both in its broadness of sociological
scope and its voluminous collection of data from a vast number of
sources in the three cities."---Scott Lash, The Times Higher
Education Supplement
