| Summary |
As society becomes more global, many see the world's great cities becoming increasinsly similar. But while contemporary cultures do depend on and resemble each other in previously unimagined ways, homogenization is sometimes overestimated. In this book, the author considers how two of the world's great cities, Paris and Tokyo, may appear to be growing more alike -- both are vast, modern, dominating, capitalist metropolises -- but in fact remain profoundly different places |
