Summary

The ideas of Henri Lefebvre on the production of urban space have become increasingly useful for understanding worldwide post-industrial city transformation. This ... book uses new international comparative research to engage critically with Lefebvre's spatial theories and challenge recent thinking about the nature of urban space. Extensive original research in Vancouver, Lowell MA and Manchester, England, explains how urban public spaces, including differential space, are contested and socially produced. Spatial coalitions, counter-representations and counter-projects are seena s vital elements in such processes. The book contributes critically to the post-industrial city comparative analysis literature and provides an accessible guide for those who care about cities, public space, city planning and urban policy"-- Back cover.
