Divided Cities: The Oxford Amnesty Lectures 2003

Based on the influential Oxford Amnesty Lectures, this volume examines the forces shaping urbanisation today and the divisions that threaten the world’s cities; it considers too what can and should be done to bring these divisions to an end. Many contemporary issues are addressed, including the impact of globalisation and migration on cities, the new development paradigm being adopted by international institutions, the challenges facing urban planners, and the suffering of the homeless.
