Opis

With urban inequality widely recognized as central to many of the most pressing challenges facing the world, there is a need for a deeper understanding of cities of the South on their own terms. This text aims to document and make sense of urban transformations across a range of cities, as well as the conflicts and struggles for social justice these are generating.
