All over the world the last remnants of cities are being taken away from people and abandoned to banks and construction monopolies. "Gentrification" has become the locomotive of neoliberal capitalism. The City the symbolic signifier of concentration and power has become Capitalism itself. In this book while we describe this change all over the world by living directly in the resistance we defend the destruction of cities!
Urban Reform the democratization of urban lands by distributing them to the homeless and women is not only the only solution and reconstruction of the right to housing but also a dynamic of the reconstruction of the world through this basic need.

Building our own houses ourselves without the need for banks and construction monopolies the right to free land for houses for everyone the 'New Slum Movement' is the only way to make everyone a homeowner.

Therefore we hope that the English edition of the book will be more than a radical urban critique but part of a radical transformation...
