Rethinking UrbanismLessons from Postcolonialism and the Global South\nAuthor(s): Garth Myers\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bristol University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Bristol University Press\nISBN-13: 9781529204452, 978-1529204452\nSynopsis\nThis book provides new insights into popular understandings of urbanism by using a wide range of case studies from lesser studied cities across the Global South and Global North to present evidence for the need to reconstruct our understanding of who and what makes urban environments.\n\nMyers explores the global hierarchy of cities, the criteria for positioning within these hierarchies and the successes of various policymaking approaches designed specifically to boost a citys ranking. Engaging heavily with postcolonial studies and Global South thinking, he shows how cities construct one anothers spaces and calls for a new understanding of planetary urbanism that moves beyond Western-centric perspectives.
