Heterotopia literally meaning 'other place' is a rich concept in urban design that describes a space that is on the margins of ordered or civil society & one that possesses multiple fragmented or even incompatible meanings. The term has had an impact on architectural & urban theory since it was coined by Foucault in the late 1960s but it has remained a source of confusion & debate since. Heterotopia & the City seeks to clarify this concept & investigates the heterotopias which exist throughout our contemporary world: in museums theme parks malls holiday resorts gated communities wellness hotels & festival markets. With theoretical contributions on the concept of heterotopia including a new translation of Foucault's influential 1967 text Of Other Space & essays by well-known scholars the book comprises a series of critical case studies from Beaubourg to Bilbao which probe a range of (post)urban transformations & which redirect the debate on the privatization of public space. Wastelands & terrains vagues are studied in detail in a section on urban activism & transgression & the reader gets a glimpse of the extremes of our dualized postcivil condition through case studies on Jakarta Dubai & Kinshasa. Heterotopia & the City provides a collective effort to reposition heterotopia as a crucial concept for contemporary urban theory. The book will be of interest to all those wishing to understand the city in the emerging postcivil society & post-historical era. Planners architects cultural theorists urbanists & academics will find this a valuable contribution to current critical argument. ...
