Urban policies are informed by the prescriptions of modern economics: Keynesian, monetarist, and neo-Marxist. In this overview, the author cuts through these policies to demonstrate the need for politically motivated solutions to our continuing urban problems. Blending historical description and theoretical analysis with empirical arguments, the author places the needs and rights of the citizen at the centre of urban political economy.
