Book: The Experimental City

Recently appointed Professor Rob Raven wrote the book The Experimental City, together with two international colleagues.

The book is an edited volume together with James Evans and Andrew Karvonen, and explores the emerging new paradigm of ‘the experimental city’ in contrast with more conventional top-down and market-led approaches in urban development. The book draws on transition studies, critical urban geography and science and technology studies. Read the first chapter online.
