N2  - "This last decade of the 20th Century marks a symbolic shift in the history of civilization as the majority of the earth's population is now located in cities. The world is now an urban place. Identifying urbanization as a geographical consequence of capitalism, Urban World, Global City describes the varied conditions responsible for this change. The latest theoretical and empirical developments are incorporated as David Clark describes the growth of towns and cities, and then examines the social and behavioral characteristics of urban dwellers. With individual chapters on populations and places, growth and urbanization, lifestyles in the city, global urban society, and the urban future, Urban World, Global City is a valuable and versatile survey for students of urban studies, sociology, and geography."--Publisher description
