Publisher's Synopsis
While the nation-state image becomes blurred, cities become spaces of political entertainment by excellence. Within them, dilemmas of integration and social cohesion must be resolved, the practice of citizenship must be made real, and need space to accommodate new patterns of social life, with new cultural references. It is even said that cities have become again the leading role that they enjoyed in the middle ages and the Renaissance and the coming world is a world of overall texture, woven by cities rather than countries. How prepared are the Mexican cities prepared to play a leading role in the growth, governance and welfare? This book provides an overview of these and other questions to explore the phenomenon and the challenges of Mexican cities.
