Description

The Leftmost City examines Santa Cruz, California, as a rare exception to the pattern of real estate-dominated urban governance across the United States. Published by Routledge, this in-depth study reveals how an unusual alliance of socialist-feminists, environmentalists, social-welfare liberals, and neighbourhood activists successfully blocked every major growth project proposed by landowners and developers from 1969 onwards, whilst simultaneously maintaining control of the city council since 1981. The narrative demonstrates the resilience of this progressive coalition even after the devastating 1989 earthquake, when developers sought to reshape the downtown core. Drawing on hundreds of primary documents and original research, this book provides a detailed account of how grassroots political organising and progressive leadership can resist capitalist development pressures and shape urban outcomes.

Key Features

The Leftmost City documents Santa Cruz's unique progressive governance model through extensive primary source research and historical analysis.

Routledge's publication explores how socialist-feminist, environmentalist, and community-based coalitions stopped development projects since 1969.

The book examines post-1989 earthquake reconstruction in Santa Cruz and how progressive officials maintained control against developer interests.

This sociology and political analysis text draws on original, previously unpublished documents to understand urban power dynamics.
