Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: This book deals with the emergence of megacities from a historical point of view. It provides a substantial analysis of urban development in some economic centers and at the periphery of the world economy. German description: Die Urbanisierung zahlt heute unbestritten zu den charakteristischen Entwicklungsmerkmalen der modernen Welt. Eine Sonderform dieses Prozesses ist die Entstehung der Megastadte – Metropolen mit mehr als funf Millionen Einwohnern. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes behandeln exemplarisch die alten und neuen Megastadte Chicago, Moskau, London, Shanghai, Tokio, Mexico City, Delhi, Seoul, Lagos, Sao Paulo und Los Angeles. Sie befassen sich mit den Strukturbedingungen megapolitaner Entwicklungen wie ihren politischen und sozialen Folgen. Der historisch-vergleichende Blick veranschaulicht dabei zahlreiche Probleme, die fur die aktuelle Globalisierungsdiskussion von grossem Interesse sind: gesellschaftliche und politische Umbruche im Land, soziale und okonomische Folgen des Wachstums, Administration und Planung sowie die Bekampfung von Armut.
