Mapping Global Cities

"Mapping global cities : GIS methods in urban analysis shows how the analysis of relevant data with GIS can provide a powerful new perspective in addressing urban research and policy questions, and it enhances our understanding and efforts in solving urban planning problems. Author Ayse Pamuk draws upon her extensive fieldwork in developing countries, as well as more than ten years of work as a university professor, and extends those in new ways by using the power of spatial analysis with GIS. Mapping global cities is an invaluable resource for urban studies and planning students, international development professionals, human settlement experts in the developing world, and urban planning practitioners, as well as researchers and scholars concerned with housing and human settlements policy analysis."--Book jacket.
