Chapter 3 in New Urban Management: Attracting Value Flows to Branded Hubs, 2015, pp 26-39 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This section discusses the aspects of urban dissipative structure that go beyond material flows. Discussion starts with a brief outlook of migration flows. Next topic is the political economy of urban symbolism followed by discussion of economies of signs and of the cultural landscapes of late modernity. The figures whose theorisations are in focus include Manuel Castells, Scott Lash, John Urry and Arjun Appadurai. This chapter provides not only a glance at space of flows and similar concepts but also a selective introduction to the sociological side of flow analysis.
