Neil Brenner (University of Chicago): New Urban Spaces: Urban Theory and the Scale Question


,

Buchpräsentation, Lesung


Book presentation by Neil Brenner (University of Chicago)

 

Neil Brenner will be presenting his book “New Urban Spaces: Urban Theory and the Scale Question”. In New Urban Spaces, Neil Brenner argues that understanding the changes and mutations of urban life requires not only concrete research, but new theories of urbanization. He proposes an approach that breaks with inherited conceptions of the urban as a bounded settlement unit—the city or the metropolis—and explores the multiscalar constitution and periodic rescaling of the capitalist urban fabric.

 

The book advances an understanding of critical urban theory as radically revisable: key urban concepts must be continually reinvented in relation to the relentlessly mutating worlds of urbanization they aspire to illuminate.

 

This will be an online event. After each presentation, there will also be time for a Q&A and discussion.
