Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. More than half the world's population will live in urban centres by the turn of the millennium and most will be exposed to degraded urban environments. "Local Places" looks at the complex social, economic and political contexts of cities in the 1990s and suggests that cities and urbanity, while part of the problem, also need to be considered as part of the solution. The ugly grey heap of cement and asphalt that makes up much of the urban sprawl is something most of us wish would just go away.
