{"product_id":"local-and-global-jordi-borja-9781853834417","title":"Local and Global: The Management of Cities in the Information Age","description":"This text challenges the belief that cities will eventually disappear as territorial forms of social organization as new information technologies permit the articulation of social processes without regard for distance, arguing that the specific role of cities will become more important, and proposing that a dynamic and creative relationship be built up between the local and the global. In this way, cities will remain the focus of social organization, political management and cultural expression, equipped to deal with the enormous social and environmental problems of urbanization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jordi Borja,Manuel Castells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853834416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853834417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.16w x 0.82d","brand":"Jordi Borja","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088917442815,"sku":"9781853834417","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c31ee8c-7c7a-44e5-85b2-491d983a787e.jpg?v=1769107268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/local-and-global-jordi-borja-9781853834417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
