This book is a must read for those interested in the archaeology and present condition of urban Zombie-neoliberalism. While the neoliberal economic project died with the financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath, urban neoliberal recipes and strategies are still the only game in town for the elites. This seminal collection excavates the future, dystopian as it may be, of how the undead continue the haunt our cities. Is it not time to call in the Zombie busters? The reasons for such exorcism are indeed expertly laid out between the covers of this book. Erik Swyngedouw, Professor of Geography, University of Manchester, UK This book unravels skillfully the influence of international neoliberal ideologies on the predominant shift in planning practices and forces the reader to reflect on what is happening to planning 's traditional concern about equity, social justice, accountability. Louis Albrechts, Emeritus Professor of Planning, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium
