'The Emancipatory City is a wonderful addition to a growing
literature on the public culture of the city. In these spaces,
tolerance and intolerance, difference and indifference,
transgressions, resistances, and playful spontaneity erupt to give
texture to urban life. The book broadens our gaze and deepens our
understanding of how cities enable people to express themselves and
be free' - "Robert A Beauregard, New School University, New York
"
Who are cities for? What kinds of societies might they most
democratically embody? And, how can cities be emancipatory
sites?
The ambivalent status of urban space in terms of emancipation,
democratisation, justice and citizenship is central to recent work
in urban geography, "new" cultural geography, critical geography
and postmodern planning, as well as literature on urban social
justice, public space and the politics of identity.
Seeking alternative and progressive visions of the emancipatory
city through an exploration of the tensions and possibilities
between the freedoms and constraints offered by the city, the
authors of The Emancipatory City? build on this wealth of current
perspectives to present an critical analysis of urban
experience.
