Wider in scope and richer in detailthan any previous study, this work provides the best introduction available to these pre-eminent world cities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeeming at times to mirror each other acrocc the Atlantic, New York and London stand at the apex of their respective national hierarchies, as economic and cultural capitals, and occupy similarly commanding positions within the world economy. From decline in the 1970s to renewal in the 1980s, both cities once again face decline in the 1990s, exhibiting ever-widening social divisions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile struck by the many socio-political similarities on New York and London in their responses to global economic restructuring, the authors also delineate the quite distinctive political structures and social divisions constituted by class, race, and gender, of each city.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book lies the question: In what sense, if any, was there an urban revival in the last decade - and for whom?
