Providing a systematic overview of large-scale housing projects,
Massive Suburbanization investigates the building and rebuilding of
urban peripheries on a global scale. Offering a universal
inter-referencing point for research on the dynamics of "massive
suburbia," this book builds a new discussion pertaining to the
problems of the urban periphery, urbanization, and the neoliberal
production of space. Conceptual and empirical chapters revisit the
classic cases of large-scale suburban building in Canada, the
former Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, and the United States and
examine the new peripheral estates in China, Egypt, Israel,
Morocco, the Philippines, South Africa, and Turkey. The
contributors examine a broad variety of cases that speak to the
building or redevelopment of large-scale peripheral housing
estates, tower neighbourhoods, Grands Ensembles, Gro
wohnsiedlungen, and Toplu Konut. Concerned with state and corporate
policy for building suburban estates, Massive Suburbanization
confronts the politics surrounding local inhabitants and their
"right to the suburb."
