Abstract

New York and Cairo share a small-grain, diverse character which contrasts sharply with Chicago's spatial insulation. Posits that both may have been shaped by similar legal, social and political processes. But the similarity is superficial; the deep structures of the 2 are very different, reflecting different roles in the global economy. Advanced cities may reproduce characteristics of the least developed. (SJK)
