Synopsis:
CITIES, CHANGE, AND CONFLICT - A POLITICAL ECONOMY OF URBAN LIFE discusses the importance of cities for the economic, cultural, and political life of modern societies.

Through the use of case studies, the presentation remains accessible and down-to-earth, engaging the user in the material.
