<br/><br/> "Consuming Cities explores patterns of consumption and culture in contemporary urban environments, bringing together debates taking place in sociology and cultural studies. It is written with a broad interdisciplinary readership in mind. The book is thematically organized and draws on an international range of urban case studies from around the world. It critically assesses the impact of consumption on the economies, social structures, geographies and cultures of the cities it discusses and on cities in general. This is a definitive resource for the study of contemporary urban consumption and culture, synthesizing a diverse and contested literature."--Publisher description.
