It includes important contributions from a respected group of scholars across a range of generations, disciplines, and sites of study. Describes the new theoretical framework of 'worlding'. Substantially expands and updates the themes of capital and culture. Includes a unique collection of authors across generations, disciplines, and sites of study. Demonstrates how references to Asian power, success, and hegemony make possible urban development and limit urban politics."--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"From Dubai to Delhi and from Singapore to Shanghai, cities across Asia are sites of intense experiments with different ways of being global. This book intervenes in urban theory focused on established global cities, and instead argues that the urban globality is something that is continually being imagined, assembled, and contested. Greater Asia is a region of vibrant innovations in urban design, built forms, governance, aesthetics, and politics. Worlding Cities draws attention to diverse projects of 'worlding' and "reworlding" that draw upon local and transnational relationships. Alternative ways of being global are instantiated through practices of mobility, modeling, and speculation that inter-reference other Asian sites. As many of the essays in this book illustrate, different Asian futures are being shaped in cities, from green governmentality to eco-city, from corporate speculations to political contestations over urban development, from "world-class" city branding to demands for "world-class" services, and from sky-high hopes to dashed dreams on the ground for city-dwellers and migrants. This inter-generation and interdisciplinary group of authors offers the first serious examination of diverse actors, energies, and conditions at play in defining new worlds of inter-Asian urbanism"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aStudies in urban and social change. 606 $aUrbanization$zAsia 606 $aGlobalization$zAsia 606 $aSociology & Social History$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aCommunities - Urban Groups$2HILCC 615 0$aUrbanization 615 0$aGlobalization 615 7$aSociology & Social History 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aCommunities - Urban Groups 676 $a307.76095 686 $aARC010000$2bisacsh 702 $aRoy$b Ananya 702 $aOng$b Aihwa 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bCaOLU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829819403321 996 $aWorlding cities$94067059 997 $aUNINA
