Resisting Redevelopment

Protest in Aspiring Global Cities

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study of twenty-nine protest cases in ten global cities shows how residents facing displacement - in the forms of urban redevelopment and gentrification - mobilize their neighborhoods and change policies. Heretofore understudied, creative residents emerge as the key to mobilization, as they craft hip and transformative protest experiences.
