Summary:

"What is the emancipatory potential of the city in a time of crisis? What thresholds must be crossed for us to realize this potential? In recent years, urban uprisings, insurrections, riots, and occupations have been an expression of the rage and desperation of our time. So too have they expressed the joy of reclaiming collective life and a different way of composing a common world. At the root of these rebellious moments lies the threshold - the spaces to be crossed from cities of domination and exploitation to a common world of liberation. Towards the City of Thresholds passionately reveals cities as the sites of manifest social antagonism as well as emancipatory spatialities. Activist and architect Stavros Stavrides describes the powerful reinvention of politics and social relations stirring everywhere in our urban world"--Back cover.
