| Kurzbeschreibung
This text, illustrated with over 80 photographs, follows the basic premise that cities and metropolitan centers must be seen as both places and spaces that are vital to the making of the human experience. Place and space are defined in clear terms, and then they are elaborated upon in a broad but accessible theoretical manner. Having provided these basic conceptual building blocks, the authors explore various theories of the metropolis, ranging from the German theorists, such as Simmel, in the 19th century, to the most recent work on the nature of the new global economy and its effects on metropolitan centers.
