It provides readers with not only an introduction to cities and urbanism in the postmodern world but also overturns many common assumptions about urban structure. Dear's analysis combines concepts of postmodernism, space and the urban to trace the genesis of a postmodern urban condition. He provides an understanding of the intellectual, moral, and political consequences of postmodernism and an evaluation of the role of space, and place in contemporary social theory and philosophy." -- Urbanization California Los Angeles 183449 Local Human geography Nevada Las Vegas 113131 Local Human geography Mexico Tijuana (Baja California) 113131 Local Human geography California Los Angeles 113131 Local Post modernism.
