Worlding Cities is the first serious examination of Asian urbanism to highlight the connections between different Asian models and practices of urbanization. It includes important contributions from a respected group of scholars across a range of generations, disciplines, and sites of study.
- Describes the new theoretical framework of ‘worlding’
- Substantially expands and updates the themes of capital and culture
- Includes a unique collection of authors across generations, disciplines, and sites of study
- Demonstrates how references to Asian power, success, and hegemony make possible urban development and limit urban politics
“I am hopeful that this collection, along with others of its kind, will inspire new lines of research and theorisation that will help arrest the actual realities of cities in an era of planetary urbanisation.” (Urban Studies, 1 February 2015)
