Isi artikel

This article proposes a theoretical framework to examine the effects of globalization on urban form and urbanism in the third world. Toward developing such a framework, the authors conceptualize globalization as the removal of political and physical barriers for the free movement of capital, people, information, and culture among nations and propose that the removal of such barriers have consequences on the cities of the third world. These consequences, the authors suggest, are expressed in the configuration of urban space, urban form, and urbanism in the third world. The authors look at those four agencies of globalization (movement of capital, people, information, and culture) and their effects. The goal of the article is to offer a critical framework for reviewing contemporary literature on globalization and third world urban form.
