Urban World(s)
"Never before has a critical spatial
perspective been so widespread, so
focused on cities and urban life, and so
generative of new ideas about economics,
politics, culture, and social change more
generally.”
Ed Soja (2011). "Beyond Postmetropolis.”
Urban Geography 32(4), 451-469, quote from p. 451.

Thank you for listening!
„Future is something which you have to go through.
She is constantly tired. Little wonder, for within a relatively short time Mrs. Wang and her
husband have to cope with things, for which in Europe a number of generations were
necessary: the secular transition from land to town, from forced economy post-industrial
self-realization, from the extended family to urban individualism. „Be entrepreneurs!“
said the party and dismissed its people into the future with only an emergency ration.
Now it is free. Free of work, free of pay and free to look for their own living and shelter.
What lasted a hundred years in Europe has to be achieved by Mrs. Wang and her family
within one generation. That is hard work.“
(Die Tageszeitung, 11.08.2000/Supplement Le Mode diplomatique, p.7)
