Résumé :
|
If the much talked about politics of green tranformations during the post-2009 era is to be more than another fad, it will have to find traction in the world's cities where the majority of the population now lives. This book convincingly argues that this is starting ta happen as "urban experiments" mushroom across the global regions of the world. This first provocative review of the evolutionary potential of these actually existing processes of chane starts off in chapter 2 with a remarkably useful definition of "urban experimentation" that is then explored by people from many different disciplines and perspectives. The analyses emerging from this book raise the possibility that "urban expérimentation "may well be the emergent mode of governance that replaces both bureaucratic managerialism and the business led public-private partnerships that underpinned neoliveral corporatism and splintered urbanism. Entrepreneurs, innovators and knowledge netweorks become the new players in a xorld where cities become laboratories for the future.
