The second city of the Empire : colonial Dublin, 1911
The city of Dublin is examined in 1911 to trace the theme of segregation in the late colonial period. Urban segregation levels between colonizer (Protestant) and colonized (Roman Catholic) were weak. Formal zoning controls were lacking after

This paper analyses the ordinary city trap though the lens of post-colonial urban studies. First, it explains that a few major cities have the necessary economic specialization and therefore extraordinary function of commanding and controlling
neoliberal globalization. Second, it discusses how and why that these two neo-Marxist concepts have been misrepresented as forms of developmentalism, as a resurgence of modernisation theory and a policy recommendation, by ordinary cities advocates. Finally
, it demonstrates that the charges against the world city and global city concepts as paradigmatic, peripheralizing, and normative are rebutted and argues for the necessity of a provincial and comparative approach to urban studies.
