About the book

With housing speculation still rampant even in the wake of the housing bubble, and gentrification increasing in city centres across much of the US and the UK, poor and working class people are finding themselves increasingly priced out of urban areas. James Tracy, a longtime housing activist, examines the situation in San Francisco with a series of essays exploring the battle for urban space. From these experiences, Dispatches Against Displacement offers a vision of what urbanism might look like if cities were developed by and for the people who bring them to life.
