Urban Political Geographies

It is in the city trenches that the crises, contradictions, and counterpolitics of neoliberalization are finding some of their most vivid and consequential expressions, where new worlds are being imagined, made, and unmade. This has yet to be mapped. But in Urban Political Geographies, we have a timely and astute field guide to this unfolding process. -- Jamie Peck
An incisive and lucid account of contemporary urban politics. -- AbdouMaliq Simone
Interesting and unique scientific perspective. New insights into the theory. Offering good prospects for understanding global urban up-to-date praxis. Best for urban political studies and supplementary for urban economic studies. Advanced level of knowledge required. Might challenge some of students thus offfers supplemental value. -- Dr Artur Ochojski * drupal *
a most interesting nexus explored in a theoretically novel way -- Mr Richard Kotter * drupal *
This is an ambitious but fairly comprehensive overview of contemporary urban politics. Its value lies in its use of illustrations from a range of countries, both in the ′Global North′ and the ′Global South′. It is a good introductory text to the subject, especially for postgraduate students with an interest in contemporary cities from around the world. -- Professor Julio Davila * drupal *
