Urban Change and Citizenship in Times of Crisis addresses the fact
that in the beginning of the twenty-first century the majority of
the world's population is urbanized, a social fact that has turned
cities more than ever into focal sites of social change. Multiple
economic and political strategies, employed by a variety of
individual and collective actors, on a number of scales, constitute
cities as contested spaces that hold opportunities as well as
restrictions for their inhabitants. While cities and urban spaces
have long been of central concern for the social sciences, today,
classical sociological questions about the city acquire new
meaning: Can cities be spaces of emancipation, or does life in the
modern city entail a corrosion of citizenship rights? Is the city
the focus of societal transformation processes, or do urban
environments lose importance in shaping social reality and economic
relationships? Furthermore, new questions urgently need to be
asked: What is the impact of different historical phenomena such as
neo-liberal restructuring, financial and economic crises, or
migration flows, as well as their respective counter-movements, on
the structure of contemporary cities and on the citizenship rights
of city inhabitants? The three volumes address such crucial
questions thereby opening up new spaces of debate on both the city
and new developments of urbanism.
