| Sommario/riassunto: | Constructing Community is a provocative and original analysis of the question of urban politics in contemporary liberal democracies.This book examines community from the particular perspective of the shaping and control of urban space in contemporary liberal democracies. Further, it offers a strong case for reconsidering current debates on democratic politics in light of the connection between political power and the control of public space and the built environment. |
