This book - previously published as a special issue of the journal Urban Studies - focuses on the politics of forgetting at work in a globalising world and the production of 'other' places, cities and regions.
In both academic scholarship and the popular imagination, the globality of modern society has been represented by global cities as the corporate and financial epicentres for capital accumulation, cosmopolitan cultures and innovative change. This has created an image of the globalised world as empty beyond cities which make it into the global league as paradigmatic ''celebrity'' cities. As a counterpoint this book give interpretive weight elsewhere, in ''other'' places, cities and regions, drawing on a range of examples from both the developed and developing worlds.
