From Urbanization to Cities: The Politics of Democratic Municipalism

Murray Bookchin
3.67/5 (44 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
In this far-reaching work, social ecologist and historian Murray Bookchin takes the reader on a voyage through the evolution of the city. Cities are not just monumental social and political facts, they are tremendous ecological facts as well. Far from seeing them as an inherent adversary of the natural world, though, Bookchin uncovers a hidden history of cities as “eco-communities” that fostered diversity and interconnection, living in balance with and awareness of nature. Just as ecosystems rely on participation and mutualism, so must cities—and their citizens—rediscover these qualities, establishing harmonious, ethical social relations as a basis for a healthy ecological relationship to the natural world.

Published for the one hundredth anniversary of Murray Bookchin’s birth, From Urbanization to Cities is the first in a series of his books that AK Press is reprinting and bringing to a new audience.
