The politics of urban development is one of the most enduring,
central themes of urban politics. In Resisting Redevelopment,
Eleonora Pasotti explores the forces that enable residents of
'aspiring global cities,' or economically competitive cities, to
mobilize against gentrification and other forms of displacement, as
well as what makes mobilizations successful. Scholars and activists
alike will benefit from this one-of-a-kind comparative study.
Impressive in its scope, this book examines twenty-nine protest
campaigns over a decade in ten major cities across five continents,
from Santiago to Seoul to Los Angeles. Pasotti sheds light on an
approach that is both understudied and remarkably effective - the
practice of successful organizers deploying 'experiential tools,'
or events, social archives, neighborhood tours, and performances
designed to attract participants and transform the protest site
into the place to be. With this book, Pasotti promises to provide a
creative and novel contribution to the literature of contentious
politics.
