The authors explore the more recent literature on social mistrust, paranoia and conspiracy and discuss the specific spatial, material and social dimensions of urban paranoia. Using the 15-minute city and low-traffic neighbourhood policies as case studies, this book analyses the causes, mechanisms and effects of paranoid urbanism to suggest useful analytical tools to study and scrutinise processes of paranoid urbanism. The authors also propose ways to address and overcome the destructive effects of paranoid urbanism, including properly acknowledging – rather than dismissing out of hand – the social causes and concerns driving paranoid urbanism; and repairing and strengthening trust relationships among urban actors including community and neighbourhood groups.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimon Joss \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Urban Futures and Head of School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFederico Caprotti\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in Human Geography at the University of Exeter, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEconomic and Social Research Council\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789819240234\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Economic and Social Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043030433932,"sku":"9789819240234","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789819240234","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
