Global Cities and Urban Theory explores these key modern questions by examining the nature of practices as diverse as container logistics, air conditioning, cathedral design, corporate accountancy, hotel management, city rankings, office work, and 'smart city' technologies in the making of contemporary global cities."--Provided by publisher
