This critical, thought provoking discussion of contemporary urban politics places key issues in a geographical context. Divided into three sections:
• The urban as political setting
• The urban as political medium
• The urban as political community
The text provides a thorough theoretical grounding with an extensive thematic overview. This unique approach links classical, institutional urban politics with a broader set of urban politics and practices.
With case study material integrated throughout, and consideration given to the discussion of different urban politics from multiple theoretical perspectives, this is a completely up to date overview for students of urban geography, urban studies, urban sociology, and of course, urban politics.
