Alistair Cole et al., « Cities as political objects : historical evolution, analytical categorisations and institutional challenges of metropolitanisation », HAL-SHS : sciences politiques, ID : 10670/1.dfyux9
Focusing on the city’s role as the nexus for new forms of relationships between politics, economics and society, this fascinating book views the city as a political phenomena. Its chapters unravel the city’s plural histories, contested political, legal and administrative boundaries, and its policy-making capacity in the context of multi-level and market pressures.
