Böcker av Doreen Massey

A collection of political writings by the radical socialist and feminist geographer, Doreen Massey, edited by David Featherstone and Diarmaid Kelliher.

Combines the benefits of local detailed area study (South East England in the 1980s) with a broader analysis of issues of place identity and political critique.

Cities around the world are striving to be global. This new book by Doreen Massey sets the global city in its broader geographical and political context. World City tells this story through London, one of the greatest of these global cities asking the question that should be asked of any city: what does this place stand for?.

Goes beyond the normal "policy evaluation" to examine the underlying assumptions which science parks embody about science and society and their relation to space and geographical uneven development.

Analysing cities through spatial understanding, this book explores how different worlds within the city are brought into close proximity and outlines new ways to address some of the ambiguities of cities: their promise, potential and problems.

This second edition includes a new first chapter and an extensive additional concluding essay addressing key issues in the debates and controversies which followed initial publication.

First Published in 1985. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
