  This major comparative text examines what have been traditionally regarded as 'world cities' (New York, London, Tokyo) and a range of other important cities in America, Europe and Asia. The authors show the role planning has played in cities' responses to the forces of globalization, and argue for the importance of diverse planning practices.
