520 ^aIn 1970, the influential French Marxist philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvre published a book titled The Urban Revolution, in which he advanced the hypothesis that^"society has been completely urbanized.^" By this, Lefebvremeant that the process of urbanization creates the conditions for capitalism--rather than urbanization being an outcome of the circulation of capital--and that the consequences of this process therefore extended far beyondactual cities. Compiling both classic and contemporary essays on the ^"urbanization question,^" this book explores the various theoretical, epistemological and political implications of Lefebvre©⁶s claim, with a series of analytical and cartographic interventions that reach beyond the conventional binaries of the topic (urban/rural,city/non-city, society/nature) in order to investigate theuneven implosions and explosions of capitalist urbanization across the globe--and what Lefebvre famously termed (in his book of the same name) ^"the production of space.^" |
