The arguments are not only based on material progress made by these metropolises, but also on the growing social difficulties experienced (e.g., organized crime, drug trafficking, slums, economic inequalities). The book illustrates the growth of cities according to these problems arising from the modernity of the new century, comparing Latin American and Asian cities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book analyzes the complex relationships within cities through an interdisciplinary approach, complementing other research and challenging orthodox views on global cities. At the same time, the book provides new theoretical and methodological tools to understand the progress of \"Third World\" cities and the way of understanding \"globality\" in the 21st century by confronting the traditional views with which global cities were appreciated since the 1980s. Pablo Baisotti brings together researchers from various fields who provide new interpretative keys to certain cities in Latin America and Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Baisotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472075233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472075232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Pablo Baisotti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945000075519,"sku":"9780472075232","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_01777158-ebf1-45a5-9512-9749a18d0f80.jpg?v=1681506204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-global-cities-in-latin-pablo-baisotti-9780472075232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
