Description
Over the last three decades, understanding cities worldwide has been transformed by three innovative theoretical concepts: globalisation, postcolonialism, and contested notions of modernity. Anthony King brings together key essays examining how the city has been repositioned beyond state and nation into the larger global context. This Routledge publication challenges assumptions and silences within debates about world and global cities, integrating historical and cultural perspectives that have been largely overlooked in urban theory. The collection reflects King's influential scholarship on how globalisation reshapes urban spaces, identities, and planning across different regions and postcolonial contexts, making it essential reading for scholars of urban studies, geography, cultural theory, and international development.

Key Features

Anthony King's collected essays examine globalisation and postcolonialism as central frameworks for understanding contemporary cities beyond national boundaries.

The Routledge publication challenges dominant assumptions in global city debates by restoring historical and cultural perspectives to urban theory.

Spans three decades of influential scholarship on how cities are repositioned and reimagined within processes of globalisation and postcolonial transformation.

Suitable for academic study in urban planning, geography, social sciences, and cultural studies programmes seeking theoretical depth on world cities.
