Résumé:

At once informative and entertaining, inspiring and challenging, this book provides a deep understanding of urban development and change over the past forty years in Los Angeles and other regions of the world. Once the least dense American metropolis, Los Angeles is now the country's densest urbanized area and one of the most culturally heterogeneous cities in the world. Soja takes us through this urban metamorphosis, analyzing urban restructuring, deindustrialization and reindustrialization, the globalization of capital and labour, andthe formation of an information-intensive New Economy.
