Noting that the successive crises of recent years (from the 2008 recession to COVID-19) seem to have put an end to the triumphalist tone of much urban writing in the 1990s, this book argues that the current historical moment calls for a different kind of urban discourse, focused on reassessment and regrouping. This edited collection features a variety of different approaches, including close readings of literary works, interviews, essays in cultural and architectural history, and sociological, ethnographic, and urban planning studies. These chapters explore a range of challenges currently faced by cities, and foreground the search for solutions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eEric Prieto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.
