Rights to the City
About the Book Series
The Rights to the City book series is dedicated to exploring some of the most important topics in urban studies today. Books featured in the series bring together rich research, clear analysis, and real-world insights to show how people and communities assert, defend, and shape their rights to urban space, assess what type of rights and what type of city we are talking about, and what happens when differing claims over urban space conflict. The series aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue that not only exposes urban inequities and systemic injustices but helps build more equitable urban research, policy, and action in cities worldwide.
