In recent decades cities have been variously impacted by neoliberalism, economic crises, climate change, industrialization and post-industrialization and widening inequalities. So what is it like to live in these contemporary cities? What are the key drivers shaping cities and neighborhoods? To what extent are people being bound together or driven apart? How do these factors vary cross-culturally and cross nationally? This book series aims to explore the various aspects of the contemporary urban experience from a strongly interdisciplinary and international perspective. With editors based in Amsterdam and Hong Kong the series is drawn on an axis between old and new cities in the West and East. We are seeking book proposals from across the social sciences but anticipate a core audience rooted in critical approaches in sociology, human geography, anthropology and political science. Economic issues are a key concern but our interest lies more with political economy and non-orthodox economics. New scholars are particularly welcome to contact the editors with ideas for books.
