'Lefebvre's thought has perhaps never been more important than today as urban insurgencies around the world are reshaping the politics of planetary urbanization and announce a new urban revolution. This book is truly a milestone in actualizing Lefebvre for our contemporary urban condition.'Erik Swyngedouw, University of Manchester, UK'Henri Lefebvre's approach to the production of urban space continues to inspire radical theory and research in relation to diverse conditions, transformations and struggles in cities around the world. This book offers powerful evidence that the theories and concepts developed by Lefebvre may be productively mobilized to illuminate major dimensions of contemporary urbanization processes. As this volume assertively demonstrates, Lefebvre's work remains an essential resource for contemporary forms of critical urban theory - and praxis.'Neil Brenner, Harvard University, USA
