A visionary exploration of what the city might be in a postcapitalist world.
In a world dominated by capitalism, where urban landscapes suffer from inequality, environmental degradation and social strife, a vision for what comes next is vital. Postcapitalist cities guides readers through contemporary urban life, presenting a transformative urban blueprint for a future of equity, sustainability and communal well-being.
Combining vivid case studies with historical analysis and theoretical exploration, the book reveals how capitalism has shaped our cities and uncovers the revolutionary post-capitalist potential within them. From the urban protests of 1968 and the fare strikes in Santiago to urban commoning and the solarpunk movement, this book reveals how communities are planting seeds of radical transformation.
Postcapitalist cities is a poignant critique but also a celebration of emerging urban practices that prioritise human dignity, democracy and social justice. It invites readers to dream, analyse and act. Whether you're an urban planner, activist, scholar or concerned citizen, this book provides the tools and inspiration to build cities where humanity can truly flourish.
