This book pays homage to Neil Smith’s ideas, offering a critical approach and rich collection of insights that draw on Smith’s work for inspiration and debate. With interdisciplinary and international contributions from leading experts, the book demonstrates the impact of Smith’s ideas on understanding the role of urbanisation in general and gentrification, in particular, in contemporary society. The book demonstrates how gentrification varies significantly from city to city, across different cultural and political-economic regimes, and in terms of the timing of urban transformations.This collection provides a forum for debate for those working in urban regeneration and citizenship, and those directly affected by the processes and problems arising from gentrification. It will be of interest to students and scholars in urban geography, urban sociology, cultural studies, and wider social and urban theories.

The concept of governance has evolved into one of the most important but also controversial concepts in urban politics. While it encourages co-operation, participation and collective construction, at the same time, it has brought about new forms of public demission, oligarchic regimes and less local democracy. The dilemmas accompanying these changes are particularly relevant when observing the cities of Southern Europe, whose socio-cultural specificities very much structure local political and policy materialisations. Bringing together a team of leading scholars from across the social sciences, this volume examines the issues of urban governance in the Southern European context. Illustrated by case studies of several main cities and metropoles on the North Mediterranean coast, it introduces and critically analyses the latest theories and approaches to urban governance. It questions how the 'real' or socio-cultural notion of city seems to have been separated from that of the 'political' city and explores how more integrated socio-political forms might be developed. It looks at current structures, dynamics and cultures of governance in urban development and questions whether they are well adapted to new realities and challenges or whether there are significant imbalances causing limited or fragmented political-administrative visions. By considering both the long Mediterranean history along with the recent but enduring global economic and political developments, this book argues that Southern European cities will have to depend greatly upon its own socio-cultural networks, dynamics and cosmopolitan evolution, making the most of the region's characteristic urban strengths, as trading hubs, with rich hinterlands and large and varied population.

A través de la mirada crítica y disidente que el feminismo y el enfoque de género llevan implícitos, Maria Dolors Garcia-Ramon (la geógrafa española con mayor proyección internacional) demuestra la necesidad y la viabilidad de la renovación de los estudios socio-espaciales. Para Garcia-Ramon, el que las mujeres sean finalmente visibles en el paisaje geográfico proviene tanto de las transformaciones ocurridas en su entorno social como de los cambios que se han dado dentro de la disciplina geográfica. Partiendo de un feminismo académico y militante, sus numerosas aportaciones, tanto teóricas como aplicadas, plantean cómo la transversalidad de la geografía del género permite reconsiderar las relaciones entre los espacios de la producción y los de la reproducción a la vez que posibilita cuestionar los límites de la geografía social, la cultural, la económica y la política. Este libro es un ensayo crítico sobre la autora y su obra que incluye, además, una selección de sus textos fundamentales y un artículo inédito.
