| Abstract |
"The text offers a critical perspective on complex and consequential aspects of growth and change in London, viewed through the lens of multiscalar space, and brought to life through exemplary case studies. It demonstrates how capital, culture and governance have combined to reproduce London, within a frame of relational geographies and historical relayering. This will be an invaluable text for postgraduate students, established scholars and upper level undergraduates, across diverse disciplines and fields including geography, sociology, governance studies and planning, and urban studies" |
