Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

"Zukin's ability to integrate spatial, economics, and cultural analysis--all in the context of vibrant industrial and community histories, and in the service of a forceful condemnation of the continuation of inequality and discrimination in the process of economic change--place her in the admirable company of such distinguished urbanists as Gordon Clark, Manuel Castells, John Logan, Harvey Molotch, Saskia Sassen, and especially David Harvey."--Bennett Harrison, co-author of The Deindustrialization of America "Now more than ever, and in the future even more than now, everybody's personal identity, and every collective hope, depend on complex mediation between the local and global. Sharon Zukin, in Landscapes of Power, gives us a brilliant example of the kind of multidimensional thinking we are all going to need."--Marshall Berman, author of All That is Solid Melts into Air
