Anotace
The seemingly apocalyptic scale of the World Trade Center disaster continues to haunt people across the globe. It is, however, only the most recent example of a city tragically wounded. Cities are, in fact, perpetually caught up in cycles of degeneration and renewal. This timely book explores how urban populations are affected by "wounds" inflicted through violence, civil wars, overbuilding, drug trafficking, and the collapse of transport and utilities systems, as well as natural disasters such as earthquakes. New York, Philadelphia, Mexico City, Belfast, and Beirut are just a few examples of cities riddled with problems that undermine, on a daily basis, the quality of urban life. What does it mean to urban dwellers when the infrastructure of a city collapses—transport, communications, sanitation? How does drug trafficking impact vulnerable urban communities? How do political corruption and mafia networks distort the city environment? Drawing on in-depth case studies from across the globe, the authors consider the capacity of cities to mediate local conflict and heal their wounds.
