- Summary
- "The Global Report 2001 is an assessment of the world's cities and a tool and reference for academics, researchers, planners and public authorities and civil society organizations around the world. The 2001 Report highlights the impacts of globalization in removing barriers and increasing the influence of market forces on policies and city development, the increased isolation and marginalization of many, especially poor and vulnerable social groups. It documents current housing and urban conditions, including access to health care and education, and examines policies and initiatives for improved quality of life across all sectors of urban society."--Jacket.
