The material origins and consequences of the political and economic reasonings of neoliberalism are as pervasive as they are difficult to define. This volume has successfully taken on the challenge of revealing an archive of facts and events that make visible the processes and systems that shaped cities and territories in the past half-century. <i>Neoliberalism on the Ground</i> will greatly expand historical and theoretical understanding and is an indispensable contribution to our comprehension of our present moment." —Timothy Hyde, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<br /><br />"This impressive edited volume addresses the links between worldwide neoliberal policies and recent architectural trends. If neoliberalism equals the belief that market economies provide the sole key for progress and emancipation, this book discusses how this ideology impacts architectural culture and the everyday built environment, bringing together in-depth theoretical analysis with wide-ranging and intriguing case studies." —Hilde Heynen, author of <i>Architecture and Modernity: A Critique</i>
