Rövid leírás:
About one billion people wordwide are lacking safe and reliable access to potable water. This fundamental environmental problem takes acute forms in the cities of the developing world. Taking the case of Guayaquil in Ecuador this book shows, both theoretically and empirically, how access to and control over water, and, consequently, urban socio-environmental conditions are shaped by social, economic, and political power relations. The urban political-ecological perspective developed in this book examines critically our understanding of both the city and the environment and develops a perspective that relates urban environmental questions to issues of uneven social power and control.

Taking as his case-study the city of Guayaquil in Ecuador, where 600,000 people lack easy access to potable water, Erik Swyngedouw aims to reconstruct, theoretically and empirically, the political, social, and economic conduits through which water flows, and to identify how power relations infuse the metabolic transformation of water as it becomes urban. These flows of water which are simultaneously physical and social carry in their currents the embodiment of myriad social struggles and conflicts. The excavation of these flows narrates stories about the city's structure and development. Yet these flows also carry the potential for an improved, more just, and more equitable right to the city and its water. The flows of power that are captured by urban water circulation also suggest that the question of urban sustainability is not just about achieving sound ecological and environmental conditions, but first and foremost about a social struggle for access and control; a struggle not just for the right to water, but for the right to the city itself.
'Providing deep insights into the complex urban natures, Swyngedouw makes an invaluable contribution to the study of water ecologies in their political economic context.' Roger Keil, Annals of the Association of American Geographers
