Description
City Life from Jakarta to Dakar examines how possibilities are materialized through everyday projects in cities and their connections to the wider world. This book focuses on the politics involved in these processes, exploring an "anticipatory politics" that encompasses various practices, calculations, and economies.
The book does not present a collection of case studies or a review of developmental problems, but rather looks at how residents' projects in cities bring about different materializations of possibilities. By examining the everyday activities of people in these cities, it reveals how urban development is shaped by diverse practices and calculations.
