A synthesis of forty years of observation of the urban realities, this book examines the changes resulting from a mode of political management of cities that gives too much room to economic greed, to the detriment of "the right of the city". Jean-Pierre Garnier reveals the way the multiple innovations exert symbolic violence by simply repeating the very real one practised on the ever-growing number of citizens deprived of their cities.
