Beyond the Megacity connects and reconnects the global debate on
the contemporary urban condition to the Latin American tradition of
seeing, considering, and theorizing urbanization from the margins.
It develops the approach of "peripheral urbanization" as a way to
integrate the theoretical agendas belonging to global suburbanisms,
neo-Marxist accounts of planetary urbanization, and postcolonial
urban studies, and to move urban theory closer to the complexity
and diversity of urbanization in the Global South. From an
interdisciplinary perspective, Beyond the Megacity investigates the
natures, causes, implications, and politics of current urbanization
processes in Latin America. The book draws on case studies from
various countries across the region, covering theoretical and
disciplinary approaches from the fields of geography, anthropology,
sociology, urban studies, agrarian studies, and urban and regional
planning, and is written by academics, journalists, practitioners,
and scholar-activists. Beyond the Megacity unites these unique
perspectives by shifting attention to the places, processes,
practices, and bodies of knowledge that have often been neglected
in the past.
