Moscow Under Construction: City Building, Place-Based Protest, and Civil Society

Moscow under Construction (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Moscow under Construction explores the growth of place-based opposition to destructive redevelopment practices in Moscow and the consequent changes in citys governance regime. The groups of citizens discussed in this study have struggled to defend homes, neighborhoods, heritage buildings, and historic districts, and in the process theyve built up civil society and advanced democratization. Heritage preservationists and other aggrieved Muscovites have organized themselves into initiative groups and social associations to protect specific places in the city and to influence the planning process, and these place-defenders have become more confident and capable as citizens. Their activities also have caused Moscows city government to shift along the political spectrum away from highly authoritarian and opaque habits of ruling toward a more open and collaborative governance regime. This book examines the growth of place-based opposition to destructive redevelopment practices in Moscow and the consequent changes in the citys governance regime. The citizen groups analyzed in this study have struggled to defend specific places of value to communities and, in the process, have built up civil society and advanced democratization.
