Global City Typologies: Transactional Forces in Urbanised Development (1)

Synopsis

Global City Typologies explores the historical, cultural and socio-economic transactional forces in the development of existing cities through to newly planned and emerging cities. Individual chapters address different sets and typologies of global cities to analyse their comparative evolution and standing today. The separate parts and individual chapters have been grouped around 125 different established, planned and emerging cities and analysed according to different typologies and thematic categories that comprise historic cities, early trading cities, planned cities, emerging global cities, mega cities and megalopolitan agglomerations. These span five continents – including the industrial cities of Chicago and Manchester, new capitals such as Brasília and New Delhi, innovative cities such as Singapore and Tel Aviv and mega cities such as Mexico City. The book is fully illustrated throughout with modern and historical maps, which enables visualisation of the forces that have shaped ongoing development of these major global cities. This is an essential book for students and professionals in urban design and planning, administrators, economists, designers and developers.
