Omschrijving
The urban century manifests itself at the peripheries. While the massive growth in urbanization is often referred to as an 'urban revolution', most of the twenty-first century's startling urban growth worldwide is happening in city peripheries.
"Keil provides a crucial theoretical underpinning to show how a plurality of suburbanization processes are multifariously linked to urban expansion yet constitute their own force and way of existing. This is the first book I know to really engage this heterogeneity with all of its problems, weird splendor, and ambivalent potentiality."
AbdouMaliq Simone, Goldsmiths, University of London
"Suburban Planet is a major contribution to the theoretical and policy debates that are emerging in the increasingly urbanized twenty-first century. It is in the spatially 'exploding' urban places that the urban drama of the 21st century will be played out against a background of economic volatility, social tension and environmental risk."

Roger Keil is Professor and York Chair in Global Sub/Urban Studies and former Director of the CITY Institute at York University, Toronto
