This evening Deepa Naik & Trenton Oldfield (inequality and anti-elitism protester at the 2012 Oxbridge boat race) will launch the 3rd Volume of the critically acclaimed Critical Cities.
Critical Cities Volume 3 offers provocative perspectives from multiple contexts including Sao Paulo, Zagreb, London, Bogota, Hong Kong and Nicosia. Naik & Oldfield have written the introduction 'City as Inequality', along with four chapter introductions 'Erase, Stretch, Relinquish', 'Stratification', 'Agency' and Archipelago'.
Deepa Naik said "The Critical Cities series, with contributions from around the world, delves into the difficult issues of urban life such as decreasing wages, the self-isolation of financial districts and the market of transnational workers. At the same time, the contributors offer transformative possibilities for the century ahead." Reviews / Critical Cities
"This is such an important contribution that helps to fill a yawning gap. There is a dearth of critical commentaries examining the changes in cities wrought by neo-liberalism. At last a multi-disciplinary collection of writing that brings together some of the best." Anna Minton, journalist and author of Ground Control
