Summary:
As gentrification threatens to uproot neighbourhoods across the world, the flame of co-operative housing has been reignited while the concept of community landownership has the potential to turn the tide and put the destiny of our cities into the hands of residents.Villages in Cities takes us across North America to Montreal, Boston, Vermont, and Mississippi, presentingconcrete examples of citizens taking back the land and claiming their right to secure housing. It also acts as a guidebook to contemporary urban struggles through fertile archival material from the Milton Parc struggle, which is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.Villages in Cities presents a succinct portrait of the problems facing the ownership of urban land, the challenge of contesting the State’s presupposed legitimacy in determining our urban future, and the contradictions these elements imply. n Montreal in 1968, speculators announced their ‘urban renewal’ plan to demolish six blocks of the downtown heritage neighborhood of Milton Parc in order to build enormous high-rise condos, hotels, office buildings, and shopping malls. The local community viewed this as a declaration of war. What followed was a remarkable struggle that not only saved the heritage architecture from destruction but also protected local residents from gentrification through the creation of the largest nonprofit cooperative housing project on an urban community land trust in North America. And Milton Parc is not unique. Villages in Cities takes us across North America—to New York, Boston, Burlington, Oakland, Jackson, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver—to show concrete examples of citizens taking back the land and claiming their right to secure housing. The book draws connections among these projects, examines their underlying causes, and connects them with a holistic “Right to the City” movement that is emerging internationally.
