They show that the recent urban crisis is not purely a result of the budgetary problems of the nation state (»austerity urbanism«) but needs to be seen as multiple contestations. The Crisis of the City is therefore understood as a result of a changing nation state, cultural diversity, challenged urban planning and politics and a globalized economy UR - https://doi.org/10.14361/9783839428429 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/doc/cover/9783839428429.jpg ER -
