'Housing in the Margins is a journey into normal-yet-transgressive living spaces on the periphery of Berlin. Hilbrandt powerfully rethinks statehood as the ordinary enactment of negotiation, shattering along the way the tired but all-too-persistent division between the global "North and South."'

'This is a truly remarkable book. It incorporates a rich discussion of the lived experience of informal housing in Berlin's allotment gardens. But, in doing so, it also requires us to rethink how urban space is negotiated from below as well as above.'

'Hanna Hilbrandt's study generates new openings for urban studies to think urban informality, negotiated governance, and housing across the global north and south. Firmly rooted in Berlin's distinctive history, this is a very welcome contributionto theorising the urban globally.'
