In an era when the tendency identified by Lefebvre in his 1970 work 'The Urban Revolution' has become reality, this interdisciplinary book brings together some of the leading thinkers including Neil Brenner, Edward J. Soja, Eric Swyngedouw and Christine Boyer to draw a general picture of the global processes of urbanization today. 'Lefebvre's thought has perhaps never been more important than today as urban insurgencies around the world are reshaping the politics of planetary urbanization and announce a new urban revolution. This book is truly a milestone in actualizing Lefebvre for our contemporary urban condition.' Erik Swyngedouw, University of Manchester, UK 'Henri Lefebvre's approach to the production of urban space continues to inspire radical theory and research in relation to diverse conditions, transformations and struggles in cities around the world. This book offers powerful evidence that the theories and concepts developed by Lefebvre may be productively mobilized to illuminate major dimensions of contemporary urbanization processes. As this volume assertively demonstrates, Lefebvre's work remains an essential resource for contemporary forms of critical urban theory - and praxis.' Neil Brenner, Harvard University, USA
