摘要

This Open Access book explores the development of contemporary urban struggles in Sweden, offering a comprehensive and critical perspective on collective action in cities. It examines the practices of collective urban actors, highlighting both visible and hidden forms of organizing, including actions and interactions that occur in spaces inaccessible to outsiders. The chapters move from an introduction to the theoretical and methodological approach to urban struggles, through an overview of Sweden’s post-war urban mobilizations and movements, to detailed analyses of grassroots initiatives—particularly the tenants’ movement and the Orten Movement. The book reveals the relational dynamics that underpin urban struggles and introduces new theoretical and methodological perspectives on urban movements. Designed for scholars and students in sociology, political science, cultural geography, urban studies, and related fields, this book combines critical theory with longitudinal ethnographic methods to capture the complexity of contemporary urban struggles.
