It leads to a fresh perspective on several issues central to urban theory, including the uniqueness of a city alongside practices it shares with other urban places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents an innovative theoretical contribution to the field of urban studies, bridging the gap between western centric scholarship and perspectives from the global South. It offers conceptually rich insights, combining notions of cities as organisms, and references to postcolonial urban studies, with insights around aspirations, capabilities, agency, and social identity. It develops concepts, like the Proximity Principle, that help explain the experience of a city. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis conceptualization of the city as a process should interest all who are sensitive to cities, whether they study them in academia or simply develop close associations with specific urban places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Narendar Pani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032052678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032052670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Narendar Pani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136482881791,"sku":"9781032052670","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d72c103c-08a8-49f7-b48c-d7cf585fddc6.jpg?v=1770162959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-city-as-action-narendar-pani-9781032052670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
