Debating the Neoliberal City

The neoliberal city thesis has become a key structuring analytical framework in the field of urban studies. It helps to explain both the ongoing transformation of urban policies and the socio-spatial effects of these policies within cities and highlights the prominent role of cities in the new geography of capitalism. Bringing together leading scholars from across the social sciences, this book challenges the neoliberal city framework, arguing that the definition of neo-liberalization may be hazier than it seems, as well as presenting various methodological issues. This ground breaking book will be of interest to scholars in Geography, Urban Studies, Economics and Politics.
