Abstract: This volume examines the intersection of postmodern glocality and social justice, focusing on cultural, urban, and global dynamics. It explores the shift from modernity to postmodernity and the resulting challenges for social justice across diverse contexts. Emphasizing urban memories and spaces, the book highlights how identities and histories are reshaped amid globalization. Central to the discussion is the tension between global forces and local realities, with Singapore as a key case study showcasing how a global city balances economic growth and social equity. Through interdisciplinary essays, the volume advances critical debates on culture, modernity, and justice in a postmodern era.
