Global City and the Holy City

<p><em>The Global City & the Holy City</em> explores the local embodied knowledge of women and men of different national cultural and ethnic identities and age groups living in London and Jerusalem. Their narratives focus on the three main concepts of Comfort Belonging and Commitment to the various spaces in which they live. By deconstructing the meanings of these three notions and analyzing their expression in cognitive temporal maps <i>The Global City & The Holy City </i>examines the practicalities of incorporating this kind of local embodied knowledge into the professional planning and management of cities in the age of globalization.</p>
