Publisher: Arab Network for Research

This book places the city in the heart of the capital and in the heart of class struggles, examining some cities from Johannesburg to Mumbai, from New York to Sao Paulo, as well as studying the cases of the Paris Commune, the occupation of Wall Street and the riots in London. Harvey poses the following question: How can cities be organized according to social justice and in environmentally sound ways, and how can these cities become a center of anti-capitalist resistance? Do financiers and investors control the entrances to urban resources, or do people control them? Who dictates and regulates the quality of daily life?
