Routledge Urban Change and Citizenship Vol 3 - Conflict & Resistance

Explore the complex dynamics of modern urban environments in Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis: Volume 3. This academic work examines how cities become targets for financial speculation during periods of neo-liberalism. While social and political rights may remain on paper, this volume investigates how they often become inaccessible to large segments of the population in practice. Readers will gain insight into the direct clash between urban restructuring driven by investor interests and the innovative ways citizens resist these changes. The text analyzes how state cooperation and renewed waves of urban transformation impact the rights of urban citizenship. This volume is a necessary resource for those studying the tension between economic reordering and the grassroots movements fighting to claim their rights in the modern city.
