Cities, politics, and power / [by] Simon Parker.

This text provides a critical introduction into how, on whose behalf, and with what consequences the cities in which we live are run. Distinctive features of this volume are its holistic view of urban power, its application of key theories to real world examples (especially from the Global South).
