Description

Explore the changing landscape of global urban environments with Cities for People, Not for Profit: Critical Urban Theory and the Right to the City. Published by Routledge, this book examines how the worldwide financial crisis has triggered economic restructuring and sociopolitical conflict within cities across the globe. This text provides deep analyses of the struggles led by urban social movements. It looks at the injustice and unsustainability found in capitalist urbanization models. The contributors offer perspectives designed to help roll back profit-based urban development. Instead, the work promotes alternative models for urbanism that are radically democratic and sustainable. This book is an essential resource for those studying architecture, land use planning, and urban sociology. It provides the theoretical tools needed to understand the tension between profit-driven growth and the needs of the people living in modern cities.
