Sommario/riassunto

This title attempts to theorise the contemporary urban condition by arguing that displacement forms the central logic of urban exploitation. In order to theorise urban exploitation it is important to understand who is having to move and where, who is being resettled and how, and how is this process of displacing and resettling oppressive.
