Alternative urban spaces across civic, private, and public spheres
emerge in response to the great challenges that urban actors are
currently confronted with. Labour markets are changing rapidly, the
availability of affordable housing is under intensifying pressure,
and public spaces have become battlegrounds of urban politics. This
edited collection brings together contributors in order to spark an
international dialogue about the production of alternative urban
spaces through a threefold exploration of alternative spaces of
work, dwelling, and public life. Seeking out and examining existing
alternative urban spaces, the authors identify the elements that
provide opportunities to create radically different futures for the
world's urban spaces. This volume is the culmination of an
international search for alternative practices to dominant modes of
capitalist urbanisation, bringing together interdisciplinary,
empirically grounded chapters from hot spots in disparate cities
around the world. Offering a multidisciplinary perspective, The
Production of Alternative Urban Spaces will be of great interest to
academics working across the fields of urban sociology, human
geography, anthropology, political science, and urban planning. It
will also be indispensable to any postgraduate students engaged in
urban and regional studies.
