- Summary:
- The global city is often invoked in theory and practice as an ideal model of development and a logic of internationalisation for cities the world over. But the global city also creates deep social polarization and challenges how much local planning can achieve in a world economy. In 'How to Build a Global City', Michele Acuto considers the rise of a new generation of global cities (Singapore, Sydney, and Dubai) and the power that this concept had in their ascent, in order to analyse the general relationship between global city theory and its urban public policy practice.
