Mobile Urbanism

<div><i>Mobile Urbanism</i> provides a unique set of perspectives on the current global-urban condition. Drawing on cutting-edge theoretical work leading geographers reveal that cities are not isolated objects of study; rather they are dynamic global-local assemblages of policies practices and ideas.</div> <div><br> The essays in this volume argue for a theorizing of both urban policymaking and place-making that understands them as groups of territorial and relational geographies. It broadens our comprehension of agents of transference reconceiving how policies are made mobile and acknowledging the importance of interlocal policy mobility. Through the richness of its empirical examples from Europe North America South America Africa Asia and Australia contributors bring to light the significant methodological challenges that researchers face in the study of an urban-global territorial-relational conceptualization of cities and suggest productive new approaches to understanding urbanism in a networked world.</div> <div><br> Contributors: S.
