This book examines the active role of urban citizens in
constructing alternative urban spaces as tangible resistance
towards capitalist production of urban spaces that continue to
encroach various neighborhoods, lanes, commons, public land and
other spaces of community life and livelihoods. The collection of
narratives presented here brings together research from ten
different Asian cities and re-theorises the city from the
perspective of ordinary people facing moments of crisis,
contestations, and cooperative quests to create alternative spaces
to those being produced under prevailing urban processes. The
chapters accent the exercise of human agency through daily
practices in the production of urban space and the intention is not
one of creating a romantic or utopian vision of what a city "by and
for the people" ought to be. Rather, it is to place people in the
centre as mediators of city-making with discontents about current
conditions and desires for a better life.
