Rebel Cities by David Harvey
Manifesto on the urban commons from the acclaimed theorist.
Whose streets? Our streets! In Rebel Cities David Harvey shows us how we might turn this slogan into a realityThat task-and this book-could hardly be more important. -- Benjamin Kunkel, author of Indecision and a founding editor of N+1
David Harvey provoked a revolution in his field and has inspired a generation of radical intellectuals. -- Naomi Klein

Harvey's clarion demand [is] that it is 'we,' not the developers, corporate planners, or political elites, who truly build the city, and only we who can seize back our right to its control. -- Jonathan Moses * Open Democracy *
Intellectuals in the Occupy movement [will] appreciate Rebel Cities' descriptions of the historic and international parallel of urban struggles to reclaim public space and build culture, and be intrigued by Harvey's musings on how to grow a lively, resilient revolutionary anticapitalist movement. * Publisher's Weekly *
A consistent intelligent voice of the left. -- Edwin Heathcote * Financial Times *
