Cities: Reimagining the Urban

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (20040 ratings)

Description:This book develops a fresh and challenging perspective on the city. Drawing on a wide and diverse range of material and texts, it argues that too much contemporary urban theory is based on nostalgia for a humane, face-to-face and bounded city. Amin and Thrift maintain that the traditional divide between the city and the rest of the world has been perforated through urban encroachment, the thickening of the links between the two, and urbanization as a way of life. They outline an innovative sociology of the city that scatters urban life along a series of sites and circulations, reinstating previously suppressed areas of contemporary urban life: from the presence of non-human activity to the centrality of distant connections. The implications of this viewpoint are traced through a series of chapters on power, economy and democracy.This concise and accessible book will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology, geography, urban studies, cultural studies and politics..We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
