 | New Global Cities in Latin America and Asia: Welcome to the Twenty-First Century New Global Cities in Latin America and Asia: Welcome to the Twenty-First Century proposes new visions of global cities and regions historically considered "secondary" in the international context. The arguments are not only based on material progress made by these metropolises, but also on the growing social difficulties experienced (e.g., organized crime, drug trafficking, slums, economic inequalities). The book illustrates the growth of cities according to these problems arising from the modernity of the new century, comparing Latin American and Asian cities. Pablo Baisotti is an External Researcher at the University of Brasilia, Department of Latin American Studies (ELA). |
