Reimagining Urban Futures - A Sociological Framework for Justice-Centered Renewal in Declining Cities

Why are some cities thriving while others spiral into decay—and what if everything we've been told about urban renewal is wrong?

This groundbreaking sociological framework shatters conventional wisdom about urban decline, exposing how technocratic "solutions" actually deepen inequality while enriching developers. Through compelling case studies from Detroit to Barcelona, discover how marginalized communities are revolutionizing city planning from the ground up—and winning.

Inside, you'll uncover:

• The hidden power dynamics that determine which neighbourhoods flourish and which are left to rot
• Four proven strategies that helped cities like Cleveland and Medellín break cycles of decline
• Why traditional economic development fails—and how worker cooperatives are building resilient alternatives
• Real-world evidence from 12 global cities showing how participatory planning reduces evictions and poverty
• The intersectional coalition-building tactics that increased workforce participation by 37% without displacement

Perfect for urban planners, policymakers, community organizers, academics, and engaged citizens who refuse to accept that urban decay is "inevitable." This isn't just theory—it's a practical roadmap tested in cities worldwide, complete with implementation strategies and measurable outcomes.

Whether you're fighting gentrification in your neighbourhood or reimagining your city's future, these justice-centred approaches offer concrete alternatives to market-driven development that actually work.
