New urban forms characterizing contemporary metropolises reflect a
certain continuity with the patterns of the past. They also include
unexpected forms of settlement and design that have emerged in
response to social and economic needs and as a way of leveraging
new technologies. Politics of the Periphery sets out to explore
sub/urban governance in diverse contexts in order to better
understand how materiality and space are shaped by the
possibilities and constraints of confronting actors. This
collection, edited by Pierre Hamel, examines the empirical aspects
of collective action and planning in eight urban regions around the
world – across North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa – and
reveals the impacts and consequences of various structures of
suburban governance. The case studies feature a diverse range of
local actors facing both the specificity of their respective
milieus and the broader context of extended urbanization as
metropolitan regions cope with new territorial challenges. The book
focuses on suburbanization processes that characterize most of
these post-metropolitan regions and questions whether it is
possible to improve suburban governance in the face of growing
uncertainties arising from structural and subjective
transformations. Paying close attention to the relationship between
the local and the global, Politics of the Periphery challenges the
planning processes of evolving metropolitan regions.
