"We Own the City" examines the ways in which urban dwellers--who
used to be merely "clients" of development--are taking ownership of
their neighborhoods. Bottom-up initiatives are cropping up around
the world, but institutions, government offices and developers
often find themselves uncertain how to collaborate with and empower
these impassioned citizens and communities. Offering solutions to
this disconnect, "We Own the City" analyzes this international
trend through five case studies, focusing on Amsterdam, Hong Kong,
Moscow, New York and Taipei, each of which discusses different
dynamics and intensities of citizens' redevelopment processes. This
volume delves into the complexities surrounding the role of today's
city-makers and the potential and actual tensions between civil
society and government, and it further provides new foundations for
inclusive urban development plans which will set the standard for
future public governments, housing authorities, architects, town
planners and real-estate developers.
