Routledge - Uncovering the Crimes of Urbanisation Book

Explore the hidden realities of planetary urbanisation in this pioneering study from Routledge. This book examines how the rapid growth of cities and the expansion of extraction megaprojects create spaces for state-corporate criminality. From the social cleansing of urban areas to indigenous land struggles, the text investigates how space is transformed to serve speculative interests. Readers will gain insight into the serious issues driving modern urban conflict, including market manipulation, fraud, corruption, and violence. By analyzing the connection between urban development and human rights abuses, this work provides a necessary look at how these processes shape social life and the future sustainability of human civilisation. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of sociology, law, and urban development.
