Rebel cities : from the right to the city to the urban revolution

Long before the Occupy movement, modern cities had already become the central sites of revolutionary politics, where the deeper currents of social and political change rise to the surface. Consequently, cities have been the subject of much utopian thinking. But at the same time they are also the centers of capital accumulation and the frontline for struggles over who controls access to urban resources and who dictates the quality and organization of daily life. Is it the financiers and developers, or the people' Rebel Cities places the city at the heart of both capital and class struggles, looking at locations ranging from Johannesburg to Mumbai, and from New York City to SAo Paulo. Drawing on the Paris Commune as well as Occupy Wall Street and the London Riots, Harvey asks how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane ways'and how they can become the focus for anti-capitalist resistance.

  • ""Sur les grandes places du Caire, de Madrid, d'Athènes ou de New York, des mouvements de contestation et d'opposition au capitalisme financiarisé se font jour. Ils sont la marque, selon David Harvey, d'une revendication, toujours renouvelée, du « droit à la ville ». Car la ville, en tant que centre par excellence d'accumulation du capital, est également la ligne de front des luttes pour le contrôle de l'accès aux ressources urbaines. Promoteurs immobiliers, banquiers et financiers dictent ainsi la qualité et l'organisation de la vie quotidienne d'une population tenue à l'écart des décisions les concernant au premier chef. Villes rebelles place la cité au cœur de la réflexion sur le capitalisme et la lutte des classes. À travers la Commune de Paris, Occupy Wall Street ou les émeutes de Londres, Harvey s'interroge : dans quelle mesure peut-on construire des villes socialement plus justes et écologiquement plus rationnelles ? Ne sont-elles pas le foyer d'une résistance anticapitaliste ? Mais aussi le lieu d'une réappropriation révolutionnaire du tissu urbain ?" [Source : 4e de couv.]."
  • "Cities have long been the pivotal sites of political revolutions, where deeper currents of social and political change are fleshed out. Consequently, they have been the subject of much utopian thinking about alternatives. But at the same time, they are also the centers of capital accumulation, and therefore the frontline for struggles over who has the right to the city, and who dictates the quality and organization of daily life. Is it the developers and financiers, or the people? Rebel Cities places the city at the heart of both capital and class struggles, looking at locations ranging from Johannesburg to Mumbai, and from New York City to Sao Paulo. By exploring how cities might be reorganized in more socially just and ecologically sane ways, David Harvey argues that cities can become the focus for anti-capitalist resistance."
