Resilience & the City

Change, (Dis)Order and Disaster

Produktbeschreibung

Following the terrorism events of the first few years of the 21st century, the growth of a new security infrastructure has led to significant changes to urban design and the management of urban space. This book uses Lefebvre's theory of rhythms to examine these changes, applying this theory of understanding the rhythms of everyday experience to the regulation of the rhythmic city in tightening security practices and governance structures.
