Possible Urban Worlds: Urban Strategies at the End of the 20th Century

Some of today’s most inspi­ring urban action groups and lea­ding urban scho­lars pre­sent a uni­que com­pi­la­ti­on of prac­ti­cal expe­ri­en­ces and theo­re­ti­cal ana­ly­ses of today‘s most pres­sing urban issues.

This book is the result of an inter­na­tio­nal deba­te about new con­cepts of local action and new ide­as for soli­da­ry, demo­cra­tic and sus­tainable urban worlds, which has been going on for eight years within the frame­work of the Inter­na­tio­nal Net­work for Urban Rese­arch and Action.

Most of the con­tri­bu­ti­ons were pre­sen­ted at the 7th INURA con­fe­rence “Pos­si­ble Urban Worlds” in Zurich, June 16–18, 1997.
