The Neoliberal Frontline - Download, Read, Listen
Conference “The Neoliberal Frontline: Urban Struggles in Post-Socialist Societies” took place December 4-7, 2008 in Zagreb within a large space reclamation event Operation:City 2008. A host of urban scholars, architects, urbanists and activists from across the Balkans and from around the world discussed issues of neoliberalism, urban development, ideology and governance.
The publications are now online - a larger ‘Survival Manual for Neoliberal Reality’ in Croatian, accompanying the framing Operation:City 2008 event and including the translations of some of the seminal works in urban theory, documentation of artistic interventions in public space and a case study of historic development of Zagreb’s urban planning carried out within the Operation:City 2008. For all non-Croatian speaking folks there’s the conference publication in English with written contributions by conference participants. Here you’ll find texts by Neil Smith, Boris Buden, Jason Hackworth, Stefan Nowotny, Keller Easterling, and many many other participants.
