Synopsis
How do we find new ways of urban being and doing? This edited collection explores how global capitalism has shaped cities into sites of inequality, precarity and alienation-spaces designed to serve profit rather than people. Drawing on diverse examples, the book analyses how urban life is failing under current economic systems and offers real-world alternatives that promote human flourishing.
From rethinking urban governance to exploring community-led initiatives, the collection offers evidence-based visions for cities grounded in care, equity and social purpose. It is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand and transform urban life in the face of deepening global crises.
