The emergence of the global city as a topic of scholarly inquiry, and recognition of the city as the site of human and economic interactions that enable and negotiate the process of globalization has, since the 1980s, produced a rich urban studies literature, one that has advanced our understanding of contemporary global dynamics. Urban historians, following in the footsteps of geographers, sociologists, and others, have carried further the torch of this scholarly endeavor. Whether by highlighting urban networks and connections or emphasizing the circulation of people, goods, ideas, and practices; by privileging one urban locality or comparing two or more cities; by exploring synchronic or comparable diachronic urban developments, these scholars have revealed cities and towns as creations and creators of global historical phenomena.[more]
