| Description: |
Tackling the questions raised by twenty-first century urbanization, this handbook engages with contemporary debates and contributions to policy as well as looking at recent empirical and methodological shifts in the area |
| Synopsis: |
The SAGE Handbook of the 21st Century City focuses on the dynamics and disruptions of the contemporary city in relation to capricious processes of global urbanisation, mutation and resistance. An international range of scholars engage with emerging urban conditions and inequalities in experimental ways, speaking to new ideas of what constitutes the urban, highlighting empirical explorations and expanding on contributions to policy and design. The handbook is organised around nine key themes, through which familiar analytic categories of race, gender and class, as well as binaries such as the urban/rural, are readdressed. These thematic sections together capture the volatile processes and intricacies of urbanisation that reveal the turbulent nature of our early twenty-first century:Hierarchy: Elites and EvictionsProductivity: Over-investment and AbandonmentAuthority: Governance and MobilisationsVolatility: Disruption and AdaptationConflict: Vulnerability and InsurgencyProvisionality: Infrastructure and IncrementalismMobility: Re-bordering and De-borderingCivility: Contestation and EncounterDesign: Speculation and ImaginationThis is a provocative, inter-disciplinary handbook for all academics and researchers interested in contemporary urban studies. |
