In recent decades cities have been variously impacted by neoliberalism,
economic crises, climate change, industrialization and post-industrialization
and widening inequalities. So what is it like to live in these contemporary
cities? What are the key drivers shaping cities and neighborhoods? To what
extent are people being bound together or driven apart? How do these
factors vary cross-culturally and cross nationally? This book series aims to
explore the various aspects of the contemporary urban experience from a
firmly interdisciplinary and international perspective. With editors based in
Amsterdam and Hong Kong, the series is drawn on an axis between old and
new cities in the West and East.
