This book delves into the ethical dimension of urban life: how
should one live in the city? What constitutes a 'good' life under
urban condition? Whose gets to live a 'good' life, and whose ideas
of morality, propriety and 'good' prevail? What is the connection
between the 'good' and the 'just' in urban life? Rather than
philosophizing the 'good' and proper life in cities, the book
considers what happens when urban conflicts and urban futures are
carried out as conflicts over the good and proper life in cities.
It offers an understanding of how ethical discourses, ideals and
values are harmonized with material interests of different groups,
taking up cases studies about environmental protection, co-housing
schemes, political protest, heritage preservation, participatory
planning, collaborative art production, and other topics from
different eras and parts of the globe. This book offers
multidisciplinary insights, ethnographic research and conceptual
tools and resources to explore and better understand such
conflicts. It questions the ways in which urban ethics draw on
tacit moral economies of urban life and the ways in which such
moral economies become explicit, political and programmatic. The
