Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-13 00:00:00 Philip Jones This was a great and interesting book that explained the global economy and the role of major cities in a very rational manner. I also greatly appreciated the final chapters that talked about inequity, the environment, and women, which gave the book a slightly more narrative feel, compared to the overly technical first half of the book. Overall, I found the book very informative, in terms of how global cities are becoming specialized, but within a financial industry. The world is not flat, and geography does matter. I recommend this book for people interested in the role of cities, however, the writing is very uninteresting. At times, my eyes would glaze over, and I would have to reread a paragraph over and over again, not because I didn't get it, but because the writing was stale. In terms of content, I would give this book 4 stars, in terms of writing, 3 stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-17 00:00:00 Michael Rojas Interesting perspectives on the global cities in the world and their role in it. Still, I felt like the book was a bit hard to follow the resoning of, like she approaches a bit too many destinations and don't really manage to reach them all. An example is the explaination of the growing economic inequality that felt a bit thin to me.
