The Urbanism of Exception: The Dynamics of Global City Building in the Twenty-First Century
Murray, Martin J. (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
This book challenges the conventional understanding of cities not only as bounded spaces with a coherence all of their own but also urbanization as a universal process along a linear pathway toward a common end-point. Increasingly, urbanizing processes on a global scale have produced distended urban regions that resemble assemblages of enclosed enclaves and discontinuous zones.
