Saskia Sassen: Re-Assembling the Urban
Recognizing the presence of translocal processes in a city carries analytic implications for how we understand the concept of the city. Understanding which moment of a translocal process corresponds to the city under examination unsettles easy comparisons for urban models centered in agglomeration versus dispersal.

Conceptualizing the city requires, then, a reassembling of familiar components into a broader frame.
