This text offers a way of understanding the global nature of cities, where their very openness has served to shape their dynamism and character. It explores the mix of proximity and difference that exists in the rich and diverse texture of city life. The contributors assert that an association exists between the changing fortunes of cities and the power and influence of global networks.
