While the massive wave of present urbanization is often referred to as an 'urban revolution', most of this startling urban growth worldwide is happening at the margins of cities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is about the process that creates the global urban periphery – suburbanization – and the ways of life – suburbanisms – we encounter there. Richly detailed with examples from around the world, the book argues that suburbanization is a global process and part of the extended urbanization of the planet. This includes the gated communities of elites, the squatter settlements of the poor, and many built forms and ways of life in-between. The reality of life in the urban century is suburban: most of the earth's future 10 billion inhabitants will not live in conventional cities but in suburban constellations of one kind or another. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by Henri Lefebvre's demand not to give up urban theory when the city in its classical form disappears, this book is a challenge to urban thought more generally as it invites the reader to reconsider the city from the outside in.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; font-size: 11px\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1 Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 Suburbanization Explained\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3 Suburban Theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4 Suburban Studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e5 From Lakewood to Ferguson\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e6 Beyond the Picket Fence: Global Suburbia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e7 Suburban Infrastructures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e8 The Urban Political Ecology of Suburbanization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e9 The Political Suburb\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407336796440,"sku":"9780745683119","price":42.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745683119.jpg?v=1784163235","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/suburban-planet-making-the-world-urban-from-the-outside-in-hardback-9780745683119","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
