Rebuilding the Global City: Economy, Ethnicity and Space

Abstract

A walk through almost any of today’s large modern cities in Western Europe or the USA leaves one with the impression that each contains many cities: the corporate city of high-rise office buildings, the old dying industrial city, the immigrant city. A space of power; a space of labor and machines; a Third World space. Are they indeed three separate cities, each belonging to a different historico/geographic phase? Or do they presuppose each other — the existence of one, a condition for the other? And if so, what is the nature of the dynamic that connects them?
