This book develops a new analytical framework in urban sociology and politics, and examines the economics of cities, their social structures, and the modes and processes of governance. Each chapter comprises a comparison across several countries and examines critically the book's central theoretical perspective. This is not a book about the making of a Europe of cities but rather about how some cities can take advantage of their changing global and European environment. 0aCities and towns 0aEurope1 aBagnasco, Arnaldo.1 aGal�s, Patrick Le.403Amazon.comuhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0521664888/chopaconline-20
