Summary
This book tells the story of evictions and planned evictions in the Canadian cities of Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary. It explores the housing plight of Santiago de Chile's urban poor during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. It looks at how the 500th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in America resulted in mass evictions in Santo Domingo. In South Africa, it describes the Witwatersrand region in the years prior to the elimination of apartheid. Finally, the book looks at the startling results of Seoul's "urban renovation" policies. It examines both the political and economic forces driving evictions.--Publisher's description.
