What is the future for cities? In Postcapitalist Cities: Towards a common urban future (bookshop.org/a/12343/9781526167309) (Manchester University Press, 2026) Oli Mould (bsky.app/profile/olimould.bsky.social), a Professor of Cultural and Historical Geography (linktr.ee/olimould) at Royal Holloway, University of London (pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/en/persons/oli-mould),
looks at the past, present and future of the city to consider
alternatives to the current capitalist urban model that dominates the
world. Re-examining key concepts such as gentrification and care,
introducing new ideas like solarpunk, and packed with a huge range of
global case studies, the book offers approaches to resist, reject and
reimagine the city. A significant intervention for geographers and
social scientists, the book will also be essential reading for anyone
living in a city today.
