Abstract(s)
Portuguese urban studies have had a revival in the last decade. Not only have new generations of scholars brought the present dynamics of urban change into the international limelight, but they have also engaged critically with the genealogies of those very dynamics. A cidade democrática: Habitação e participação política no pós-25 de Abril (‘The democratic city: Housing and democratic participation after April 25’) is a bold contribution to this second thread, and to scholarship on the intersection between the urban question and trajectories of politicization in the country in particular. It is a timely and important book, which provides a fresh outlook on a crucial decade in the making of contemporary Portugal, using the urban issue as a powerful lens for understanding democratization and politics more broadly.
