| Abstract | "Cities today are increasingly at the forefront of the environmental and social crisis, and are both a major cause but also a potential solution. Across the world a new wave of urban social movements are arising: movements fighting hostile immigration policies, misogynistic culture, ecological devastation, and social exclusion; movements building economic, social, and political alternatives based on solidarity, equality and participation."-- Provided by publisher. |
