Many cities in different parts of the world have experienced a fundamental economic, cultural and social transformation in recent decades. This volume addresses the global processes of urban transformation empirically and theoretically in a number of case studies of particular cities. The papers cover a range of research in terms of space, time and aspects of urban reality. Some case studies focus on urban life in the context of economic and social structure, or urban renewal in the context of national and local politics. Others deal more specifically with the interrelations between culture, economy and space. The academic focus is variously sociology, political science, economy, geography and architecture.

Cities often form the backbone of economic, social and cultural activities for countries around the world, with over half the world's population living in these complex urban centres. Sustainable futures for humanity will depend, to a large extent, on achieving sustainable living within these large urban centres. Cities are also very complex: They require a vast network of infrastructure, resources, services, technologies, management and planning to keep the flows of goods, people, waste and general social and economic activities going. Dr Maysoun Ibrahim analysis captures these complexities as she develops a practical road map of things that need to be in place to help a city move towards improving smartness and sustainability. The insights generated have both practical and theoretical use. As such the book provides an important contribution towards understanding and working towards a sustainable future. The books provides a base for planners, researchers, analysts and the interested observer to consider cities in a coherent and holistic model.

This book conveys how forces of structural change shape the urban landscape. One important subject covered, in addition to the spatial and economic forces that shape our regions, cities, and neighbourhoods, is the social, cultural, ecological, and psychological aspects which are also critically involved. Additionally, the urban transformation occurring throughout cities is thoroughly discussed. Written by today's leading experts in urban studies, this book discusses subjects from different theoretical standpoints, as well as various methodological approaches and perspectives; this is alongside the challenges and new solutions for cities and regions in an interconnected world of global economies.
