Riassunto

This compelling new textbook scrutinizes urban politics through a theoretical and empirical lens to provide readers with a clear understanding of the relationship between political, spatial and economic issues on the urban environment. Taking a truly global analysis, the book uses international comparative case studies from cities across the world including London, Beijing, Austin, and Vancouver. Engaging in style and thorough in its coverage of the key issues, this book draws on ideas and theories from human geography, politics, sociology, economics, and development.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Ugo Rossi and Alberto Vanolo take us on a journey around the ascent and crisis of urban liberalism, providing a clear and highly readable analysis of key issues and debates in the field of urban political geography. (Ola Söderström)

It is in the city trenches that the crises, contradictions, and counterpolitics of neoliberalization are finding some of their most vivid and consequential expressions, where new worlds are being imagined, made, and unmade. This has yet to be mapped. But in Urban Political Geographies, we have a timely and astute field guide to this unfolding process. (Jamie Peck)

An incisive and lucid account of contemporary urban politics. (AbdouMaliq Simone)

L'autore:

Ugo Rossi teaches Geography at the University of Turin, Italy.
