This book analyses the key livelihood and governance challenges
that the urban poor experience while navigating public spaces in
Dhaka, Bangladesh. Using data collected through extensive fieldwork
in Bangladesh, the book contributes to the emerging scholarship of
resilient cities, gendered space, spatial justice, and poverty in
cities of the Global South. The book assesses the everyday politics
of survival for the urban poor; how the poor negotiate different
levels of formal and informal modes of power and governance; and
the dynamics of gender. It explores how tenuous counterspaces are
created when these factors combine to provide a valuable framework
for work in other urban contexts in the Global South beyond
Bangladesh. Using cross-disciplinary perspectives, this book
investigates the issues of human development, urban governance,
urban planning and the gendered nature of urban space to outline
how these issues enable or constrain poor people's livelihood
practices and their rights to be in the city. Exploring debates
surrounding placemaking and inclusive cities and their connection
to poor people's livelihoods, this book will be of interest to
scholars in the field of Sociology, Development Studies, Planning,
Geography and Anthropology.
