Explore 'The Spatiality and Temporality of Urban Violence,' a groundbreaking edited volume that delves into the profound relationship between urban environments and violence. This essential read, published by Manchester University Press in 2023, offers a comprehensive analysis of how the spatial and temporal dynamics of cities shape and perpetuate violence. The book interrogates the built environment and social relations that contribute to urban violence, rethinking common notions of crime through the lens of space and time.
This insightful volume takes a deep dive into urban violence as a spatiotemporal practice, revealing how memories and historical contexts shape contemporary cities. It presents a collection of case studies from diverse global regions and historical periods, effectively challenging the traditional binaries of global North and South, and the past versus present narratives regarding urban conflict.

This book sheds light on how urban spaces are transformed by violent practices, urging readers to reconsider the factors that generate conflict within different cultural and temporal settings.
Whether you are a student, researcher, or practitioner in urban studies, criminology, or sociology, this book provides invaluable perspectives on the interplay between space, time, and violence in urban settings. This volume encourages a dialogue on innovative ways to confront urban violence.

Description:
This edited volume asks how the city, with its spatial and temporal configuration and its rhythms, produces and shapes violence, both in terms of the built environment, and through particular â€urban’ social relations.
The book builds on the insight that violence itself is a spatiotemporal practice with generative capacities, which produces and transforms urban space and time in the long turn, also through the impact of memory. The analytical categories of space and time must be thought as inextricably linked with each other . Expanding this fundamental conceptual idea offers fresh perspectives on urban violence. The book unites case studies on different world regions and historical periods , and thus challenges assumed binaries of cities the global North and South, the past and present.
