It demonstrates how capital, culture and governance have combined to reproduce London, within a frame of relational geographies and historical relayering.

Millennial Metropolis Summary

Millennial Metropolis: Space, Place and Territory in the Remaking of London by Tom Hutton

  • Brings the earlier literature up to the present time with an added emphasis on culture.

  • Careful and sophisticated treatment of geographical scale - in the blending of global/transnational processes with the fine-grained imprint of governance processes and social relations in the manifestations of contemporary urban inequality.

  • A major review and synthesis of a wide array of research literatures on globalizing cities.
