- Summary:
- In an era plagued by increasing inequality and intensifying climate change, residents of cities are facing crises on multiple fronts, including housing, transport, healthcare, policing, pollution, and dramatic population fluctuations. In response, people are coming together to find solutions. But what does it take for them to change their city for good? 'People Power in Cities' is an analysis of the strategies people are using to fight for social and climate justice and achieve a greater say in how their cities are run.
