Description

The relationship between space and politics is explored through a study of French urban policy. Drawing upon the political thought of Jacques Rancière, this book proposes a new agenda for analyses of urban policy, and provides the first comprehensive account of French urban policy in English.

Essential resource for contextualizing and understanding the revolts occurring in the French 'badland' neighbourhoods in autumn 2005
Challenges overarching generalizations about urban policy and contributes new research data to the wider body of urban policy literature
Identifies a strong urban and spatial dimension within the shift towards more nationalistic and authoritarian policy governing French citizenship and immigration
