This book explores the interconnections between urbanization and
capitalism to examine the current condition of cities due to
capitalism. It brings together interdisciplinary insights from
leading academics, activists and researchers to envision
progressive, anti-capitalist changes for the future of cities. The
exploitative nature of capitalist urbanization, as seen in the
manifestation of modern cities, has threatened and affected life on
Earth in unprecedented ways. This book unravels these threats to
ecosystems and biodiversity and addresses the widening gap between
the rich and the poor. It considers the future impacts of the
capitalist urbanization on the planet and the generations to come
and offers directions to imagine and build de-capitalised and
de-urbanised cities to promote environmental sustainability.
Written in lucid style, the chapters in the book illustrate the
current situation of capitalist urbanization and expose how it
exploits and consumes the planet. It also looks at alternative
habitat practices of building autonomous and ecological human
settlements, and how these can lead to a transformation of
capitalist urbanization. The book also includes current debates on
COVID-19 pandemic to consider post-pandemic challenges in
envisioning a de-capitalised, eco-friendly society in the immediate
future. It will be useful for academics and professionals in the
fields of sociology, urban planning and design and urban studies.
