Fear has always been present in cities. However, recent events and
political and social trends have intensified these insecurities and
refocused very diverse anxieties on civic space. The changing role
of the state through globalization, and the growth of inequalities
and power conflicts over public space call for a renewed analysis
of global-local conflicts, and for a theorization of the
relationship between issues of space and social marginalization.
The events of 9/11 have served to galvanise the precautionary
principle, increasing repression and the number of gated
communities worldwide. This book analyses the diverse responses of
New York, Paris, London and Mumbai to terrorism, Johannesburg and
Sao Paolo to cartels of gangs and British and French cities to
persistent civic unrest. These responses can be perceived as a sign
of hope; despite various constraints, cities' immense capacity for
adaptation and resilience can allow very diverse people to live
together with their differences.
