Reviews

This clearly written and persuasively argued book will be of invaluable use to urban sociologists and geographers interested in understanding in more detail and depth the varied ideological debates and pragmatic ramifications of urban policy making, city planning, and class relations in the Global South. --American Journal of Sociology

Jacob Lederman shows how politicians' ambitions to make Buenos Aires a 'world-class' city appeal to global audiences while inflaming local tensions and reinforcing inequality. This nuanced study of a 'creative' city in the global South is a provocative, elegantly written contribution to comparative urban studies. -Sharon Zukin, author of Naked City and The Innovation Complex
