Across the world, a new wave of urban social movements is rising to fight against corporate control, social exclusion, hostile immigration policies, gender oppression, and ecological devastation. These movements are building economic, social, and political alternatives based on solidarity, equality, and participation. This anthology develops the debates that began at the recent Transnational Institute of Social Ecology’s (TRISE) conference about the dire need to rebuild the social and political realities of our world’s cities. It discusses the prospects of radical urban movements; examines the revolutionary potential of the concept of “the Right to the City,” and looks at how activists, scholars, and community movements can work together towards an ecological and democratic future. A fruitful conversation between theory and practice, this book opens new ground for rethinking systemic urban change in a way that challenges oppression and transforms how people work, create, and live together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFederico Venturini\u003c\/strong\u003e is an independent activist-researcher.

Meanwhile, community land ownership has the potential to turn the tide and put the destiny of our cities into the hands of residents. Villages in Cities takes us across North America to Montreal, Boston, Vermont, and Mississippi, presenting concrete examples of citizens taking back the land and claiming their right to secure housing. It also acts as a guidebook to contemporary urban struggles through fertile archival material from the Milton Parc struggle, which is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Villages in Cities presents a succinct portrait of the problems facing the ownership of urban land and concrete strategies for communities to take back urban land from the market and the State.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe story begins in Montreal in 1968, when word spread like wildfire of a developer’s plan to demolish six blocks of the working-class neighbourhood of Milton Parc. The developer envisioned enormous high-rises with luxury apartments, hotels, offices, and commercial space. It was a declaration of war, and the local community responded in kind. What followed was a David versus Goliath struggle that not only saved the Victorian and Edwardian heritage architecture from destruction but would, more importantly, defend the neighbourhood in perpetuity from gentrification through the creation of the Communauté Milton Parc: a massive non-profit co-operative and non-profit housing project on an urban land trust. With some 616 apartments self-managed by a strong community of around 1500 low and medium-income residents, it is a veritable village in the heart of the city.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eVillages in Cities\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"This is the most extraordinary book on Milton Parc.

The centre-piece of the book is the story of Milton Parc in Montreal, a neighbourhood under threat by speculative property development in the late 1960s. Resident mobilization and action paved the way for an alternative path - one that would place direct democracy at the heart of what is now North America's largest housing cooperative. Written in a clear and accessible style, Villages in Cities showcases a range of present-day North American projects to de-commodify land as well as an in-depth analysis of the Milton Parc case. The book is essential reading for urban scholars, students, activists and planners who are concerned about the struggle for spatial justice and how resident-led initiatives - despite the odds - are

Historically, urban planning has been narrowly conceived, ignoring gaping inequalities of race, class, and gender while promoting unbridled growth and environmental injustices. In Transformative Planning, Tom Angotti argues that unless planning is radically transformed and develops serious alternatives to neoliberal urbanism and disaster capitalism it will be irrelevant in this century. This book emerges from decades of urban planners and activists contesting inequalities of class, race, and gender in cities around the world. It compiles the discussions and debates that appeared in the publications of Planners Network, a North American urban planners’ association. Original contributions have been added to the collection so that it serves as both a reflection of past theory and practice and a challenge for a new generation of activists and planners.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTom Angotti \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eis Professor Emeritus of Urban Policy and Planning at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York.

Yet the advancement of modern civilization has engendered extreme inequality, social division, and an imbalance between society and nature. Our technological proficiency has given our species the illusion of omnipotence; in our efforts to build robots more like us, we have not noticed how robotic we ourselves have become. To deal with this profound crisis, we must understand this problem at its roots. Could the origins of social domination and ecological exploitation be related?

In seeking answers to this question over several decades, social mobilizations have been assembled and new political and legal frameworks promoted. New interpretations and political articulations of the right to the city, especially those that have emerged since the end of the 2000s, encourage us to view it through the lens of identity politics. They propose that attention should be given to the diversity of the social groups that live in urban environments, whose voice and agency must be recognized in the construction of the city in the interests of equality and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAddressing these issues not only involves recognizing and valuing the subjects that have historically been marginalized in the construction of urban space, both physical and symbolic.

How can we understand the political economy of the city, and thus situate the relationship to the economy as a whole? Why is the self-determination of the city impeded by the other levels of the State, so that the city has so little power to affect change? What are the objectives of community-organising movements in cities like Montreal, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, and New York? From what perspective do people fight to improve public transportation, housing, health facilities, and in general, the quality of urban life? What are the accomplishments of these grass-roots citizen movements?

The East End had always been tagged by better off West Side residents as \"the wrong side of the tracks,\" swarming with riff raff and the underclass. Joey offers an engaging counter narrative where the history and culture, dreams and challenges of this vibrant and beloved once predominantly poor working-class immigrant community are remembered and honoured. And where the influences of a world in upheaval and the city's flourishing radical counterculture, helped transform one immigrant son into a principled anarchist. The book is full of little-known Vancouver history, better known personalities, places, and news-making events, hippies, Yippies, anarchists, rad students, Greenpeace, and more.
