How are urban social movements engaging in local politics to tackle the multiple crises in Europe?


This timely volume explores how grassroots actors across eleven European cities forge new forms of solidarity and enact citizenship at local scales. Drawing on rich ethnographic research, it examines how activists and communities challenge neoliberal isolation and marginalization through collective practices, ranging from community kitchens to tenant organizing. Bridging research on migration, housing and care, the book investigates how everyday urban struggles are reshaping political practices and reimagining democracy. It offers essential insights for scholars and practitioners of social justice, citizenship and urban politics.
