Rather, universal forces are decisive eventualities in the process of urban restructuring, often influencing its course and speed, yet developments and particularities within a city strongly influence the course of events and the extent to which negative characteristics of globalization might occur. Berlin, Brussels, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sarajevo and Vienna: Using these important cities the special relationship between global and local/regional forces is analyzed. The case studies were selected based on their political and cultural context and the fact that their social and political fabric was subject to major changes in the recent past. How global processes manifest themselves locally depends to a great extent on how development processes and endogenic potentials are initiated locally in order to cope with the new global economic and societal conditions. 0aHOUSING. 0aREGIONAL PLANNING. 0aHUMAN GEOGRAPHY.14aSOCIAL SCIENCES, GENERAL.24aHUMAN GEOGRAPHY.24aHOUSING.24aLANDSCAPE/REGIONAL AND URBAN PLANNING.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781402038662 0aThe GeoJournal Library,x0924-5499 ;v8340uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-3867-4zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
