After Suburbia presents a cross-section of state-of-the-art
scholarship in critical global suburban research and provides an
in-depth study of the planet's urban peripheries to grasp the forms
of urbanization in the twenty-first century. Based on cutting-edge
conceptual thought and steeped in richly detailed empirical work
conducted over the past decade, After Suburbia draws on research
from Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, and the Americas to showcase
comprehensive global scholarship on the urban periphery.
Contributors explicitly reject the traditional centre-periphery
dichotomy and the prioritization of epistemologies that favour the
Global North, especially North American cases, over other
experiences. In doing so, the book strongly advances the notion of
a post-suburban reality in which traditional dynamics of urban
extension outward from the centre are replaced by a set of complex
contradictory developments. After Suburbia examines multiple
centralities and diverse peripheries which mesh to produce a
surprisingly contradictory and diverse metropolitan landscape.
