Description

Cities in Transition provides a timely look at how six major metropolitan areas across Europe, North America, and Asia manage modern urban demands. This Routledge publication examines the complex ways city governments respond to rapid population expansion and the migration of new populations. As urban centers face increasing disparities between cities and suburbs, this text explores how local governments attempt to provide better public services and encourage popular participation. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the struggles city leaders face while trying to position their metropolitan areas within the new world economy. While each city studied exists within a unique historical setting, the book focuses on the shared challenges that urban administrators face globally. This is an essential resource for understanding the changing landscape of modern urban governance and the evolving needs of metropolitan populations.
