New publication available from Mimesis International as part of the book
series Architecture:
REDUCING BOUNDARIES. UNDERSTANDING EXCLUSION THROUGH SECURITY DEFENSIVE
SYSTEMS IN WEALTHY URBAN AREAS
Edited by Emanuela Bonini Lessing, Fabio Vanin, Daniel Silva Achutti
Aout the book:
Reducing Boundaries offers a new perspective on an often under
researched topic: what is the upper and middle classes perception of
their own security? While human sciences have mainly focused on poor and
low-middle classes evicted from urban space, Reducing Boundaries
explores the strategies that the most privileged classes enact in order
to preserved their own (real or perceived) security. In the context of
an interdisciplinary framework of analysis and through a series of case
studies (from Porto Alegre, to Brussels, to Venice), class-specific
security measures and policies are considered both in themselves, and in
terms of their impact of the urban fabric of cities and on the lives of
the different social groups involved. This book crowns a four-year
international project funded by the European Research Agency.
