The People's Property? (eBook, ePUB)

Power, Politics, and the Public.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book-length scholarly examination of how negotiations over the ownership, control, and peopling of public space are central to the development of publicity, citizenship, and democracy in urban areas. The book asks the questions: Why does it matter who owns public property? Who controls it? Who is in it?
