Sommario/riassunto |
|
Throughout the past thirty years a small number of city-regions have achieved unprecedented global status in the world economy while undergoing radical changes. Struggling Giants examines the transformation of four of the most significant metropolises: London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo. This volume analyzes the thorniest issues these sprawling city-regions have faced, including ameliorating social |

|
|
problems through public policies, the effect of globalization on local governance, and the relationships between local, regional, and national institutions. |
