The contributions to Urban neo- liberalisation bring together
critical analyses of the dynamics and processes neo- liberalism has
facilitated in urban contexts. Recent developments, such as
intensified economic investment and exposure to aggressive
strategies of banks, hedge- funds and investors, and long- term
processes of market- and state- led urban restructuration, have
produced uneven urban geographies and new forms of exclusion and
marginality. These strategies have no less transformed the
governance of cities by subordinating urban social life to
rationalities and practices of competition within and between
cities, and they also heavily impact on city inhabitants'
experience of everyday life. Against the backdrop of recent
austerity politics and a marketisation of cities, this volume
discusses processes of urban neo- liberalisation with regard to
democracy and citizenship, inclusion and exclusion, opportunities,
and life- chances. It addresses pressing issues of commodification
of housing and home, activation of civil society, vulnerability,
and the right to the city.
