Anderson proposes that the varied innovations and adaptations of urban spaces enacted by such marginalized figures - for whom there are no other options - herald a radical new spatial programming of cities. The book explores cities and sites such as Mexico City and London, the Mexican\/US border, the Calais Jungle, and Palestinian camps in Beirut and utilizes concepts associated with 'mobility' - such as anarchy, vagrancy, and transgression - alongside photography, 3D modelling, and 2D imagery. From this constellation of materials and analysis, a radical spatial picture of the city in transgression emerges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy focusing on the 'underside of urbanism', \u003ci\u003eThe City in Transgression\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the potential for new spatial networks that can cultivate the potential for self-organization so as to counter the existing dominant urban models of capital and property and to confront some of the major issues facing cities amid an age of global human mobility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is valuable reading for those interested in architectural theory, modern history, human geography and mobility, climate change, urban design, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenedict Anderson\u003c\/strong\u003e is an independent scholar and practices in design, architecture, and public art.
