In
recent decades cities have been variously impacted by neoliberalism, economic
crises, climate change, industrialization and post-industrialization and
widening inequalities. So what is it like to live in these contemporary cities?
What are the key drivers shaping cities and neighborhoods? To what extent are
people being bound together or driven apart? How do these factors vary
cross-culturally and cross nationally? This book series aims to explore the various
aspects of the contemporary urban experience from a firmly interdisciplinary and international
perspective. With editors based in Amsterdam and Hong Kong, the series is drawn
on an axis between old and new cities in the West and East.
