Postmetropolis Edward Soja Dreams Dealers
Postmetropolis is one of the most important texts the past few years. Not only that gives us a re-reading on the socio-cultural dimensions of space, history and society but because it clearly opens some key interpretations of the ways to understand the heterogeneity, the discursive and the clear vision of our post-industrial practices urban.
Another tremendous contribution Dream Dealers !

Postmetropolis is one of the major theoretical challenges made so far to understand the transformations that are fleshing out the contemporary urban worlds. Their analysis
slide on the main lines of mutation of urban life: the economic redevelopment of large cities, new forms of spatial organization of these megacities, the dynamics of polarization and social segregation, growing cultural and ethnic complexity urban areas, strengthening the control devices and infiltration of virtual realities in everyday life. Their goal however is not limited to mapping, with remarkable precision empirical articles of this new metropolitan constitution. With a more ambitious, this book also aims to provide a comprehensive review of approaches and approaches to social studies. A job evaluation and selection gets drawn criticism about what is still alive and current critical thinking space. In the final analysis, the question that guides this research remains: what kind of knowledge is most effective when facing a policy the height of this great urban transformation? Edward W.
Soy is professor at the University of California and the London School of Economics. His work has been directed primarily to recognize how radically new ways of inhabiting and experiencing space in the large contemporary cities. These changes require, in its opinion, equally radical revision of geographic tools and concepts that will finally give a new centrality to the "spatial dimension" in the framework of social studies. E. Soy is also the most relevant figure of what has been called the school of urban studies critical of Los Angeles. His major works are Postmodern Geographies (1989) and Thirdspace (1996), a trilogy completed with this volume.
