Produktbeschreibung

New Economic Spaces in Asian Cities offers a vivid contribution to our understanding of the ongoing transformation of Asia's urban system, including the critical intersections of global and local-regional dynamics in processes of new industry formation and the relayering of space in the Asian metropolis. The synthesis of empirical profiles, normative insights, and theoretical reference points enhances the book's interest for scholars and students in such fields of Asian studies, urban and cultural studies, and urban and economic geography, as well as for and policy specialists and urban/community planners.
