Sinopsis:

Críticas: "The most important book on planning practice of the late 20th Century. It will set the terms of debate for years to come.," Robert Beauregard, #"The best contemporary text for teaching planning history and theory. It pushes theory and practice beyond its stubbornly modernist paradigms and into the new spaces opened by post-modern, post-colonial and feminist critiques.," Edward Soja, #"Sandercock draws on recent theoretical and political debates on gender, race and sexuality as well as on grassroots struggles in the radically multiple cities of the late 20th Century to argue that planners have to find a way of building the new multicultural city, the Cosmopolis.," Neil Smith, #"A brilliant tour de force, an original critique no thinking planner should be without. Passionate yet coherently reasoned and lucidly written, the book advances a Utopian vision, deeply grounded in actual cases drawn from a wide range of countries, to demonstrate how multicultural urban communities can achieve justice in a democratic manner.," Janet Abu-Lughod, #
