A City of One's Own: Blurring the Boundaries Between Private and Public

By Sophie Body-Gendrot and Jacques Carré

Book Overview

It is often overlooked that the initiatives of private individuals and bodies have always been a major feature of urban governance in English and American cities, before, during and after the heyday of 20th-century Welfare States. This book highlights the citizens' continuous participation in a wide range of urban affairs, especially outside institutional frameworks.
