Publics and the City, Hardcover by Iveson, Kurt, ISBN 1405127325, ISBN-13 9781405127325, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Mixing topographical approaches to public space, in which one can geographically mark particular places where people can represent themselves to the public, with procedural approaches that see any space that is used for collective action and debate as public space (and somewhat privileging the latter definition), Iveson (urban geography, U. of Sydney, Australia) presents a series of case studies examining the way the urban is used and produced in struggles to establish contesting forms of publicness in Australian cities. His case studies focus on the regulation of protest in Canberra, homosexual cruising in Melbourne, graffiti writing in Sydney, women mobilizing to keep men out of a public swimming pool in Sydney, and youth resistance to neoliberalism in Perth.
