“The book provides rich empirical context and explores the intersection of race and ethnicity in neoliberal urban restructuring. These critiques open avenues for further research on the emotional experiences of displaced individuals within neoliberal urban governance, offering insights beyond traditional socioeconomic indicators.” (Mirtha Lorena del Castillo Durand, The Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics, October 4, 2024) “Anyone wishing to learn more about the history of urban redevelopment’s changing frontiers in these cities and within their most impoverished communities—including how residents have sought to resist gentrification-led redevelopment efforts—will find this book to be an important resource. The book is equally relevant for anyone interested in comparative urban geography, because it deciphers how comparative urban research can be conducted empirically and conceptually across two very different cities.” (Tilman Schwarze, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, August 19, 2024) “Neoliberal Urban Governance is an engaging and timely intervention that presents findings on … neoliberal urbanism in and between two cities one in the Global North (Chicago) and one in the Global South (Buenos Aires). … the book thinks from and across Global North and Global South contexts in an empirically grounded way and should be a key reference for anyone interested in comparative urbanism, neoliberal urban policies … or doing research on either of the case study cities.” (Maedhbh Nic Lochlainn, Urban Studies, Vol. 61 (1), 2024) “Neoliberal Urban Governance: Spaces, Cultures and Discourses offers an engaging account of ‘actually existing neoliberalism’ and its transformations in a Global North and a Global South city. In it, Sternberg narrates how neoliberal urban governance is made possible through locally situated discourses, which render urban spaces and identities as sites for ‘transformation’ through commodification in raced, classed and unequal ways. … should be a key reference for anyone interested in comparative urbanism, neoliberal urban policies and discourses … .” (Maedhbh Nic Lochlainn, Urban Studies, August 14, 2023)
