The collection of narratives presented here brings together research from ten different Asian cities and re-theorises the city from the perspective of ordinary people facing moments of crisis, contestations, and cooperative quests to create alternative spaces to those being produced under prevailing urban processes. The chapters accent the exercise of human agency through daily practices in the production of urban space and the intention is not one of creating a romantic or utopian vision of what a city "by and for the people" ought to be. Rather, it is to place people in the centre as mediators of city-making with discontents about current conditions and desires for a better life. 2018-10-30 23:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T12:18:19Z 2020-04-01T12:18:19Z 2018 book 1001767 OCN: 1062396002 9789462985223 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/28226 eng application/pdf n/a 1001767.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789462985223 10.5117/9789462985223 dd3d1a33-0ac2-4cfe-a101-355ae1bd857a 9789462985223 open access |
