This is the first volume to analyse systematically the role of neoliberalism in contemporary processes of urban restructuring. Drawing upon cutting-edge theoretical work within radical geography, critical urban studies, neo-marxian state theory and critical social theory, contributions by leading scholars map the spaces of neoliberalism that have been forged and contested within contemporary North American and Western European cities.The volume synthesizes a variety of new theoretical approaches to the critical analysis of contemporary urban transformations while also providing new case study material on the restructuring of urban policy, urban space and urban socio-political struggles in major North American and Western European cities.

I'm putting this one back on the shelf for a while because I don't wanna think about this topic again until about 2030 (MELBOURNE 2030?!!?! oh my god). But this is a very, very good collection of broad interest. You should give it a squiz if you're at all interested in capitalism and the city.
