Transgressive City-Making and Governance explores housing occupations and evictions in Lisbon, revealing their role in challenging neoliberal urban governance. The book examines gendered and racialised housing exclusion, examining occupations' transformative potential in contesting systemic injustices and promoting housing rights.

Transgressive City-Making and Governance delves into the pressing global issue of housing exclusion and forced evictions, using Lisbon as a case study. This book, based on a 15-month engaged ethnography, critically examines council housing occupations and evictions, revealing how these practices challenge neoliberal urban governance and put forward alternative forms of urban citizenship. Exploring gendered, classed, and racialised dynamics, it sheds light on the transformative potential of housing occupations and the role of social movements in contesting systemic exclusion. It is essential reading for those interested in housing rights, social justice, and urban governance.

Saila-Maria Saaristo, Ph.D. (2022), is an urban anthropologist based at ISCTE's DINÂMIA'CET. A researcher and a practitioner, she is working on the intersection of housing precarity, gender, and migration, with recent articles in Housing Studies and Radical Housing Journal.
