      ab: The combination of technological change and globalization is bringing about fundamental changes in the nature of work. Work that has historically been geographically tied to a particular place has become transferable to an unprecedented extent, and there have been huge migrations of people crossing the world in search of both jobs and personal safety. These upheavals are transforming the character of cities in both developed and developing countries and, in the process, are radically changing social identities and structures. The transformation of cities is explored using a typology based around spatial rootedness and the notion of occupational identities being “fixed,” “footloose,” or “fractured.”
