"Our age of kleptocracy by the few and austerity for the many produces a distinct set of urban conditions, replicated worldwide and more recently reproduced as aspirational exclaves in what are euphemistically known as "emerging markets." Oriented primarily toward the needs of mobile capital, implicitly consecrated to the rhythms of a joyless, compulsive consumption, it is now more urgent than ever that we imagine social and spatial possibilities outside its sway. Join Radical Technologies author Adam Greenfield for this international survey and reminder that another city remains possible."
