{"product_id":"9783868593754","title":"The Participatory City","description":"\u003cp\u003eParticipation has been a focus for urban studies since the 1960s, and in the last decade new research aspects and critical debates on the subject have emerged across a wide range of disciplines. The changing role of planners and the rejection of traditional decision-making processes, as well as the emergence of grassroots initiatives, increasing social inequality and pressing ecological challenges have all redefined the field in recent years. \u003ci\u003eThe Participatory City\u003c\/i\u003e is the first international and interdisciplinary collection of texts encompassing the whole spectrum of the debate within a wide geographical framework. Offering international perspectives on the question of urban participation, the contributors to this volume examine participatory dimensions of social housing, land-use policies, migrant rights, environmental problems and health issues through the exploration of case studies from Chicago, Detroit, London, Mexico City and Bangalore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jovis Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060945731824,"sku":"9783868593754","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783868593754_p0.jpg?v=1763701020","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783868593754","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
