This book portrays the time of the neighbourhood, where urban dwellers,
formerly only users of urban development, are taking ownership of their
surroundings. Bottom-up initiatives are gaining ground, while
governments and developers sometimes find themselves inadequately
prepared to support this international trend, which deserves a broader
scope of analysis. Through five cases in five cities (Amsterdam, Moscow,
New York, Hong Kong, Taipei), different dynamics and intensities of
citizen-driven urban redevelopment processes are examined, with the goal
of providing new recommendations and methods that respond to community
needs and individual aspirations.
