N2  - The ongoing crisis in Europe has dramatic impact on the life in many  Southern European cities: Unemployment, social deprivation, poverty,  political instability, severe cuts in the welfare state budgets and a wide  spread feeling of despair have eroded much of the social foundation of  the cities.   In this book, contributors from Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy  provide an insight into the complex interference between the different  aspects of the crisis. They show that the recent urban crisis is not  purely a result of the budgetary problems of the nation state  (»austerity urbanism«) but needs to be seen as multiple contestations.  The Crisis of the City is therefore understood as a result of a  changing nation state, cultural diversity, challenged urban planning and politics  and a globalized economy
