As a space of intense communication and difference, the global city forces us to think about the challenges of living in close proximity to each other. Do we really see, hear and understand our neighbours? This engaging book examines the contradictory realities of cosmopolitanization as these emerge in four interfaces: consumption, identity, community and action. Each interface is analysed through a set of juxtapositions to reveal the global city as a site of antagonisms, empathies and co-existing particularities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTimely, interdisciplinary and multi-perspectival, \u003ci\u003eMedia and the City\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for students and scholars in media and communications, cultural studies and sociology, and of interest to those concerned with the growing role of the media in changing urban societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMyria Georgiou\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
