This publication explores the contested territory between the state and the corporate drive to 'securitise' urban space and the principle of the city as a site for enacting open civil society, participatory democracy, and the freedom of speech and assembly. The book interposes essays, interviews, site drawings, a lexicon of terms, and photo-essays documenting fieldwork in the UK, USA, Israel, Palestine and Spain.
