Alternative Spaces/Transformative Places addresses the rise of
unruly spaces in society, as well as communicative strategies that
citizens and activists may use to democratize them. With the
widespread use of austerity measures by governments and cities,
unruly spaces are an increasing fixture in our modern world. Cities
such as Flint and Detroit in Michigan, Berlin in Germany, and even
regions of rural America, have all been damaged by the neoliberal
policies that have left cityscapes and physical environments
altered and unrecognizable. We now understand that unruliness has
become a constant in contemporary globalized society. As such
austerity has degraded infrastructure, depleted local economies,
and poisoned neighborhoods, we feel citizens must be empowered to
reclaim such unruly spaces themselves. The book explores different
strategies for the democratization of such spaces in urban
environments, and the potential and problems of each. Such
strategies can create alternative perceptions and alter pathways
through those spaces-even connect communities hidden from one
another. Students and scholars of urban communication and community
activism, as well as human geography, will find the concepts and
strategies explored in this book useful. The discussions related to
austerity measures provide context for many contemporary
neighborhoods and communities that have come to be neglected, while
the chapters concerning unruly spaces provide explanations for the
difficulty with such neglected or degraded environments. Finally,
the illustration of different communicative strategies for the
democratization of unruly spaces will demonstrate the possibilities
for empowerment within communities that face such problems.
