The market against the city Globalization, gentrification and urban pol

This volume brings together some of the classic works of critical urban studies (Tom Slater, Loïc Waquant, Harvey Molotch, Neil Brenner, Jaume Peck, Neil Smith, among others). Its focus of interest is twofold. On the one hand, some essential contributions are collected on the processes of gentrification and how it has been understood from the academic field. On the other hand, these analyses are framed dins the m broad context of globalisation and the type of urban planning associated with it. The result is a volume that tries to serve the understanding of the urban territory as a space of conflict in a m where, it seems, it has become agitated again. 280 p.: 21 x 15 cm., paperback
