The urban politics of squatters' movements

This volume sheds light on the development of squatting practices and movements in nine European cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Rome, Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, and Brighton) by examining the numbers, variations, and significant contexts in their life course.

It reveals how and why squatting practices have shifted and to what extent they engender urban movements.

The book measures the volume and changes in squatting over various decades, mostly by focusing on Squatted Social Centres but also including squatted housing.
