The chapters in this volume investigate some of the most important
urban upheavals in recent history through different political, social
and cultural contexts. Through this cross section of case studies from
Ukraine, Belarus, Myanmar, Lebanon, Spain, United States, South Korea
and Iran, authors envision the future of the successful urban protest
as a whole-society movement in which all aspects of a city’s
morphology are effectively leveraged. The volume illustrates the ways
in which these protests consciously and subconsciously drew lessons
from each other’s experiences and integrated physical and virtual
tools. Urban environments shape, facilitate, and/or complicate
protests and the degree to which protesters recognize and internalize
these features is often key to their efficacy. Moreover, emerging
protest strategies proliferate and change to fit the context in which
they occur. Using interviews, mapping, architectural and
planning-scale documentation of urban morphologies, this volume traces
the development of important protests and the evolution of protest
strategy in balancing the physical and the virtual. It will be of
interest to architects, urban sociologists, urban planners,
historians, political scientists, journalists, and anyone else
interested in how the city shapes resistance.
