Author approved Add endorsement Dispels the old question of what the city is, asking instead what it can do Defining the livelihood of a majority of the world's population, the question of 'the city' has risen to the fore as one the most urgent issues of our time - uniting concerns across the terrain of climate policies, global financing, localised struggles and multi-disciplinary research. Deleuze and the City rests on a conviction that philosophy is crucially important for advancing knowledge on cities, and for allowing us to envisage new forms of urban life toward a more sustainable future. It gathers some of the most original thinkers and accomplished scholars in contemporary urban studies, showing how Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical project is essential for our thinking through the multi-scalar, uneven and contested landscapes that constitute 'the city' today. Dispelling the old question of what the city is, asking instead what it can do, this collection provides a nuanced mapping of situations emerging in concrete urban settings across the globe, ranging from the 'laboratory urbanism' of an Austrian ski resort to a 'sustainable' Swedish shopping mall. Hélène Frichot is Associate Professor in Critical Studies in Architecture. Catharina Gabrielsson is Assistant Professor in Urban Theory and Jonathan Metzger is Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Studies. They are all based at KTH School of Architecture, Stockholm, Sweden.
