Review Quotes:

'A fast moving journey of hope across postcapitalist urban spaces that both tantalises and inspires. A much needed antidote to the daily escalation of urban authoritarianism and the existential threat of planetary destruction. A great read for urbanists everywhere!'
Loretta Lees, Professor & Faculty Director of the Initiative On Cities, Boston University

'At a time of deepening crisis, when the ravages of global racial capitalism have been laid bare, this book demands that we both dream of, and build, postcapitalist futures. By carefully curating and analysing historical and contemporary instantiations of collective resistance and collectivised living, "a common urbanism," Professor Mould shows us that another world is indeed possible.'
Ananya Roy, Professor of Urban Planning, Social Welfare, and Geography, University of California, Los Angeles

'Truly global and deeply humane, Postcapitalist cities is open to what a city is but clear about the need to build democratic, creative and equitable communities. Oli Mould proposes a radical urbanism that draws on past, present and future visions that could reshape the world.'
Sharon Zukin, Author of Naked City: The Death and Life of Authentic Urban Places
