Everyday Life and Urban Studies - Moving With Lefebvre Towards the 21st Century

This book seeks to re-integrate Lefebvre's Critique of Everyday Life into studies of urbanization and combines analytical-methodological exploration, pedagogic mission, and theoretical advances to create an everyday-theory-based approach to urban studies situated at the interface of the spatial arts, humanities, and social sciences.
