基本説明

Investigates the political economy of contemporary urbanisation and the changing nature of democracy and citizenship.

Full Description

Publics and the City investigates struggles over the making of urban publics, considering how the production, management and regulation of 'public spaces' has emerged as a problem for both urban politics and urban theory.



Advances a new framework for considering the diverse spatialities of publicness in relation to the city
Argues that a city's contribution to the making of publics goes beyond the provision of places for public gathering
Examines a series of detailed case studies
Looks at the relationship between urbanism, public spheres, and democracy
