The chapters in this volume investigate some of the most important urban upheavals in recent history through different political, social and cultural contexts. Through this cross section of case studies from Ukraine, Belarus, Myanmar, Lebanon, Spain, United States, South Korea and Iran, authors envision the future of the successful urban protest as a whole-society movement in which all aspects of a city’s morphology are effectively leveraged. The volume illustrates the ways in which these protests consciously and subconsciously drew lessons from each other’s experiences and integrated physical and virtual tools. Urban environments shape, facilitate, and/or complicate protests and the degree to which protesters recognize and internalize these features is often key to their efficacy. Moreover, emerging protest strategies proliferate and change to fit the context in which they occur. Using interviews, mapping, architectural and planning-scale documentation of urban morphologies, this volume traces the development of important protests and the evolution of protest strategy in balancing the physical and the virtual. It will be of interest to architects, urban sociologists, urban planners, historians, political scientists, journalists, and anyone else interested in how the city shapes resistance.
