This collection critically engages with and advances existing debates on the super-rich and their roles in these transformations. An interdisciplinary range of contributions from international experts including sociologists, geographers, historians, discourse analysts, and urban studies specialists reveal crucial aspects of the real estate investment practices of the super-rich, their social spaces in the city as well as the distinct influence of the super-rich on the transformation of four key cities: London, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong. By drawing together diverse disciplines, perspectives, and experiences across different geographical contexts, this book offers a fresh, comparative, and nuanced take on the super-rich and the 1% city, as well as a solid, empirically and theoretically grounded basis to think about future research questions and policy implications. 410 0$aThe Contemporary City,$x2634-5463 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aUrban Studies/Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250 606 $aUrban Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 14$aUrban Studies/Sociology. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 676 $a307.76 702 $aForrest$b Ray$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKoh$b Sin Yee$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWissink$b Bart$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252726603321 996 $aCities and the Super-Rich$92507477 997 $aUNINA
