Global Cities, Local Streets: Spaces of Everyday Diversity, a cutting edge text/ethnography, reports on the rapidly expanding field of global, urban studies through a unique pairing of 6 teams of urban researchers from around the world. The authors present shopping streets from each city ¿ New York, Shanghai, Amsterdam, Berlin, Toronto, and Tokyo ¿ how they have changed over the years, and how they illustrate globalization embedded in local communities. This is an ideal addition to courses in urbanization, consumption, and globalization.
