Abstract: “City Space + Globalization: An International Perspective” examines the intersection of urban design, global economic forces, and local cultural identities in a globalized world. The volume is divided into two sections: Design, Shape, and Culture, which explores architectural and cultural transformations, and Class, Economy, and Polity, focusing on socio-economic and political dimensions of urban life. The work includes a Conference Program, films, and books exhibits, providing a multi-disciplinary approach. Special attention is given to Michigan as a case study of broader urban trends, highlighting the impact of economic restructuring, demographic changes, and political shifts on cities.
