Résumé:

"Urban Politics Now offers an in-depth analysis of the many symptoms that plague the neoliberal city, such as gratuitous violence, zero tolerance, consumptive hedonism and socio-economic segregation. It also proposes ways to re-establish the city as the driving force behind a democratic politics with an emancipatory agenda."
