Shaking Up the City critically examines many of the concepts and
categories within mainstream urban studies that serve dubious
policy agendas. Through a combination of theory and empirical
evidence, Tom Slater "shakes up" mainstream urban studies in a
concise and pointed fashion by turning on its head much of the
prevailing wisdom in the field. To this end, he explores the themes
of data-driven innovation, urban resilience, gentrification,
displacement and rent control, neighborhood effects, territorial
stigmatization, and ethnoracial segregation. With important
contributions to ongoing debates in sociology, geography, urban
planning, and public policy, this book engages closely with
struggles for land rights and housing justice to offer numerous
insights for scholarship and political action to guard against the
spread of an urbanism rooted in vested interest.
