The Contested Metropolis

The book derived from a proposal of the Florence Group to employ some money surplus from the Florence conference for a new INURA book. This book can be considered as embrional to the NNM project, as it aimed at a comparation among  six (initially seven, Paris dropped in progress) cities which hosted previous inura annual meetings, capitalising the work done by the local INURA teams to present their cities. However, it did not involve any common theroretical and methodologial background, and it is constituted by a collection of diverse papers giving an account of  different perspectives on urban studies represented in INURA.
