Right to the City: Social Justice and the Fight for Public Space
This is about as forceful an analysis as it comes.
If you ask a normal person who a city belongs to, they'll probably say something along the lines of "everybody, of course!" But what Don Mitchell shows is that they don't really mean that, and that unconscious bias slips in, against the homeless, against protesters (across all political stripes), and against anyone who dares disrupt their convenience and their preconceived image of the city.
And that, by the way, is when there's actually a discussion of a space for the public good, something increasingly being sold off throughout the US, and completely and fully corporatized. You will finish this book bitter, despite the hopeful spin Mitchell attempts to put in. But you will finish this book a bit more enlightened.
