Public Goods versus Economic Interests

Global Perspectives on the History of Squatting
Herausgeber: Anders, Freia; Sedlmaier, Alexander

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Squatters have played an important role in the history of urban development and social movements, not least by contributing to changes in concepts of property and the distribution and utilization of urban space. In this volume, an interdisciplinary circle of authors provides a historical perspective on how squatters have articulated their demands for participation in the housing market and public space in a whole range of contexts - including the occupation of buildings in the Global "North" and land acquisition and informal settlements in the Global "South" - and how this brought them into conflict and/or cooperation with the authorities.
