Globalization, Fear and Insecurity: The Challenges for Cities North and South

By Sophie Body-Gendrot

Book Overview

Fear is ingrained in the history of cities but our short-sightedness prevents us from grasping its evolution over time. Increasingly, risk and fear are experienced, portrayed and discussed as globalized phenomena, particularly since 9/11. This research puts urban insecurity in perspective, with a comparison of world cities in the North and South.
