This book explores different emergent spaces where diverse
urbanites spontaneously negotiate, make and remake urban spaces,
create opportunities, produce social change, challenge urban life,
culture, and politics, or simply ask for their right to the city.
The focus of this book is on spaces and contexts where change is
seeded, regardless of whether it was planned and whether it was or
will be successful in the end. Contributors analyze the seeds of
change at their very inception in diverse cultural contexts across
four continents. How do small groups of ordinary and often also
disenfranchised people design, suggest and implement ideas of
change? How do they use and remake small urban spaces to better
suit their purposes, voice claims to the city, create
opportunities, and design better urban lives and futures? The
emphasis of this volume is not on the nature of activities and
change, but on the minute processes of initiating change.
