What are the pressing issues and how should we approach and understand them? This book is lively, challenging and offers novel points of theoretical and empirical departure for its exploration of the urban moment. It ranges across food, feminism and surveillance and encompasses Brazil, China and the Middle East. The collection succeeds in having a generally consistent style - relaxed, critical and nicely nuanced in its suggestion of new research questions.' --Ray Forrest, University of Bristol, UK and City University of Hong Kong `Where are we now - and where are we going in research on cities?
