It relies on a vision of cities sharing common dynamic features as co-evolving entities in complex systems. Systems of cities that are interdependent in their evolutions are characterized in the context of that dynamics. They are identified on various geographical scales?worldwide, regional, or national. Each system exhibits peculiarities that are related to its demographic, economic, and geopolitical history, and that are underlined by the systematic comparison of continental and regional urban systems, following a common template throughout the book. Multi-scale urban processes, whether local (one city), or within national systems (systems of cities), or linked to the expansion of transnational networks (towards global urban systems) throughout the world over the period 1950?2010 are deeply analyzed in 16 chapters. This global overview challenges urban governance for designing policies facing globalization and the subsequent ecological transition. The answers, which emerge from the diversity of situations in the world, add some reflections on and recommendations to the ?urban system framework? proposed in the Habitat III agenda. 410 0$aAdvances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences,$x2198-3542 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 14$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions). 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 676 $a307.1416 702 $aRozenblat$b Celine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPumain$b Denise$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVelasquez$b Elkin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299383503321 996 $aInternational and Transnational Perspectives on Urban Systems$92522143 997 $aUNINA
