"This thoughtful and thought-provoking book examines the
dynamics and consequences of neoliberal policies in the unstable
geography of contemporary cities. The book synthesizes a range of
current explorations of urban space and neoliberal ideology, and
ends with a new and coherent conceptualization of what is happening
on the ground around us." Peter Marcuse, Professor of Urban
Planning, Columbia University
"Brenner and Theodore have done an excellent job in bringing
together an innovative collection of work on urban restructuring -
a collection that combines some of the most interesting insights
from critical political economy and radical geography to explain
important aspects of the spatial reconfiguration of capitalism
since the 1970s." Stephen Gill, Professor of Political Science,
University of York, Toronto
"Brenner and Theodore have put together a stimulating series of
investigations that explore how recent economic strategies, state
agendas and spatial logics produce urban landscapes marked by
striking levels of inequality and social exclusion. This collection
provides a theoretically sophisticated and politically incisive
examination of the ways in which restructuring cities have become
central to the new geographies of power."
William Sites, University of Chicago, author of Remaking
New York: Primitive Globalization and the Politics of Urban
Community
"This is a stimulatimg text, the ambitious designs of which
provide a rich theoretical resource" Peter Sunley, University of
Edinburgh for Progress in Human Geography
“Exploring ‘the spaces of neoliberalism’ is clearly a project whose time has come. The current collection of papers does an excellent job in laying out some of the substantive issues involved, the nature of the changes that the neoliberal agenda has conditioned, and the conflicts that its imposition has generated.” Environment and Planning D: Society and Space
