Today
cities are both a new subject and a new political space. Cities
therefore require a multidimensional perspective, such as
the one provided by this book, which uses concepts, interpretive
methods and operational approaches pertaining to various disciplines:
history and sociology, political science and law, administrative
science and urban studies. The text hosts a wide variety of
examples, featuring primarily Italian cities but extending
to other European contexts as well. The volume is intended
for students of sociology, political science and urban planning,
but also for politicians and local-level policy-makers.
