Produktinformationen zu „Cosmopolitan Urbanism (PDF)“
Cities are increasingly competing with one another to re-brand themselves as cosmopolitan in order to attract investment and tourism. Urban spaces associated with cultural difference such as Chinatowns and gay villages have become core to many cities' attempts to market themselves as global cities. Central to this process is how traditionally marginalised groups in the city have become re-valued and reconstructed as a resource in the eyes of planners and politicians.
"Cosmopolitan Urbanism" examines the politics of these transformations by understanding the everyday practices of cosmopolitanism by drawing together the works of leading urban scholars. Which forms of cultural difference are valued and which are excluded from this re-visioning of the contemporary city?
This accessible book is groundbreaking in examining the complex politics of cosmopolitanism in accessible, empirical case studies. These range from Montreal to Singapore, London to Texas, Auckland to Amsterdam. The grounded nature of the discussion of cosmopolitanism makes "Cosmopolitan Urbanism "an accessible student guide to debates on the subject.
