"An invaluable text for all those interested in cities and economic change. Empirically grounded, theoretically informed, and written in a highly accessible way to help students understand processes underlying the changing urban economy, urban governance, and the role of place."
- Lily Kong, National University of Singapore

"Editors and contributors leave readers in no doubt about the extent of the transformations coursing through urban economies in the global north and south."
- Kevin Ward, University of Manchester

"An essential read for anyone interested in the role of cities in the changing global space economy."
- James Faulconbridge, Lancaster University

"A timely and path-breaking contribution to the urban literature. It stands out as an excellent addition to the expanding urban library and a key reference on urban issues."
- George C.S. Lin, Hong Kong University

Cities and Economic Change combines a sound theoretical grounding with an empirical overview of the urban economy. Specific references are made to key emergent processes and debates including splintered labour markets, informal economies, consumption, a comparative discussion of North and South, and quantitative aspects of globalization.

The text is clear and accessible, with pedagogical features and illustrative case studies integrated throughout. The use of boxes for city examples, key questions for discussion at the end of main chapters together with suggested readings and key web sites are designed to aid learning and understanding.
