The Urbanism of Exception: The Dynamics of Global City Building in the Twenty-First Century

---

This book challenges the conventional (modernist-inspired) under­
standing of urbanization as a universal process tied to the ideal-typical
model of the modern metropolis with its origins in the grand West­
ern experience of city-building. At the start of the twenty-first cen­
tury, the familiar idea of the 'city' - or 'urbanism' as we know it -
has experienced such profound mutations in both structure and form
that the customary epistemological categories and prevailing concep­
tual frameworks that predominate in conventional urban theory are
no longer capable of explaining the evolving patterns of city-making.
Global urbanism has increasingly taken shape as vast, distended city­
regions, where urbanizing landscapes are increasingly fragmented into
discontinuous assemblages of enclosed enclaves characterized by global
connectivity and concentrated wealth, on the one side, and distressed
zones of neglect and impoverishment, on the other. These emergent pat­
terns of what might be called enclave urbanism have gone hand-in-hand
with the new modes of urban governance, where the crystallization of
privatized regulatory regimes has effectively shielded wealthy enclaves
from public oversight and interference.
