Who are the critical actors in the cities, how are they networked and what are their projects for another use, a transformation of urban space, aimed at making living more complex, multi-faceted and conflictual, in short, more throbbing and dynamic. Six major European cities have been selected for their striking appearances and the insidious changes that have taken place in them, to be examples of contested space in the urban setting. Greed and the profit motive are creating crises that require alternative ways of thinking to solve effectively.
