Gamma / Jaamaa

the long version

'In a world that is increasingly urban in character there are many cities and many urban processes to attract the attention of the keen and the curious. This book concentrates its explorations and experiments on two specific cities: Edinburgh and Casablanca. Both ranked as "gamma" cities they sit on the edge of a world hierarchy of cities. What can these cities tell us about contemporary urbanism in all of its diversity?' -Back cover.
