Author	Leontidou, Lila, author.
Title	The Mediterranean city in transition : social change and urban development / Lila Leontidou.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xviii, 296 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Series	Cambridge human geography
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Summary	Postwar capitalist development has involved a transition from polarization toward diffuse urbanization and flexibility. The timing and form of this transition and its effects on spatial structures have varied, as is especially evident in the case of Mediterranean Europe. Focusing upon Greater Athens between 1948 and 1981 - the crucial period of the transition - Lila Leontidou explores the role of social classes in urban development. The emergence of new processes in cities such as Athens, Salonica, Rome, Naples, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon is different in both timing and manner from that of northern European cities, but, as Dr Leontidou argues, this should not be attributed to poverty or inexplicable cultural peculiarities. Instead interaction between popular spontaneity, economic forces and State control has played a major role.
