It also provides authoritative entries on the main conceptual tools used by anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, and political scientists in the study of cities and regions. Among such concepts are those of place and space; geographical regions; the nature of power and politics in cities; urban culture; and many others. The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Studies captures the character of complex urban and regional dynamics across the globe, including timely entries on Latin America, Africa, India and China. At the same time, it contains illuminating entries on some of the current concepts that seek to grasp the essence of the global world today, such as those of Friedmann and Sassen on ‘global cities’. It also includes discussions of recent economic writings on cities and regions such as those of Richard Florida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in association with Indo-Dutch Programme on Alternatives in Development "The rise of ICT-related service industries is not only changing India's economy, but also reconfiguring its urban landscapes. This volume looks at the emergence of 'high-tech' India, together with 'high-tech' experiences in select Asian and European countries, from the perspective of geographers and other scholars interested in how society uses and transforms urban space. In most cities, spectacular new business districts are created; emphasizing difference by means of spatial separation from the rest of the city and a distinct style of architecture. Specific high-tech spaces first appeared in Western cities in the 1970s. In the last few decades, these high-tech spaces have spread around the world, producing distinct urban landscapes and spatial patterns. These differences reflect local conditions, as well as the demands made by leading companies, and the ambitions of local politicians that determine the ICT policies. The ICT and other high-tech industries offer opportunities for economic growth and development, but can also trigger social exclusion, uproot communities, widen urban disparities and more generally add to urbanization problems of pressure on infrastructure. This book takes a comparative approach in discussing the engagement of high-tech industries and urban space, and the associated problems and challenges. It presents a range of case studies of Indian cities, and also documents experiences in other Asian countries such as China, Malaysia, Korea and Singapore, and European countries like The Netherlands and France.

Book excerpt: China’s urban growth is unparalleled in the history of global urbanization, and will undoubtedly create huge challenges to China as it modernizes its society. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this book presents an overview of the radical transformation of China’s urban space since the 1970s, arguing that to study the Chinese urbanization process one must recognize the distinctive political economy of China. After a long period as a planned socialist economy, China’s rapid entry into the global economy has raised suggestions that modernization in China will inevitably result in urban patterns and features like those of cities in developed market economies. This book argues that this is unlikely in the short term, because processes of urban transition in China must be interpreted through the lens of a unique and unprecedented juxtaposition of socialism and the market economy, which is leading to distinctive patterns of Chinese urbanization. Richly illustrated with maps, diagrams and in-depth case studies, this book will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars of urban economics and policy, geography, and the development of China.

Book excerpt: Bringing together a group of international scholars, Directors of Urban Change in Asia examines who the 'directors' for urban change are in an eclectic mix of Asian cities. The books discusses how, in the majority of cases, urban change has come about primarily as the result of visionary leaders, on national, regional and local levels. It also makes clear that the less successful cities have tended to lack such leaders.
