Product Information

Cities shape the people who live in them, while in turn, people shape the cities in which they live. In this book, Quill R Kukla explores how city living is distinctive, and how people build territories for themselves and make themselves at home in cities. Through a philosophical exploration of what it means to be a city dweller, and rich and detailed explorations of particular cities such as Berlin, Johannesburg, and Washington, D.C., City Living shows how the cities we live in penetrate every dimension of our lives, from how we move to how we see, and conversely, how city dwellers creatively bend their cities to their needs.

Reviews
"...in City Living, Kukla presents the reader with an illuminating theoretical and social analysis of urban spaces and how they are constituted through both the material and social environment of those spaces as well as the activities of those who live in them... Kukla's City Living is a theoretically robust and socially-engaged work of philosophy. The synthesis of key concepts from a variety of disciplines (evolutionary biology, cognitive science, urban geography, and philosophy) makes it a contribution ripe with wide-ranging and deep insights. I recommend anyone interested in urban geography and the philosophies of architecture, embodiment, feminism, and mind to read this work." -- AC Review of Books "City Living is an ambitious book that engages the reader through a phenomenological account of how people living amongst, engaging with, and navigating each other shape urban spaces, and how all that lively embodied and emplaced activity turns around to shape them. We inhabit spaces but those spaces inhabit us. Kukla's analysis gracefully weaves theories of territory and place-making, confronts the challenges of urban gentrification to deliver vital lessons about identity and disruption, all the while taking the reader on philosophical passages through Washington D.C., Berlin, and Johannesburg to face the social-spatial dynamics of how 'city dwellers make and are made by territories.' The journey concludes with an innovative view of what the 'right to the city' means. For Kukla, the expression of this aspirational right goes beyond claims to housing by extending to the right to live one's life and to shape the cities that shape us." -- Ronald R. Sundstrom, University of San Francisco "Quill R Kukla's City Living opens exciting new terrain for philosophical exploration, building multi-faceted intersections among social ontology, embodied cognition, social and political philosophy, geography, and philosophy of biology. Looking ahead to disruptions from climate change, economic stratification and dislocation, and new patterns of migration, Kukla's nuanced studies of gentrification and the re-purposing of Berlin after the Wall and Johannesburg after apartheid will be invaluable guides and goads to ongoing transformation of urban spaces and ways of life." -- Joseph Rouse, Wesleyan University "This book consists of unmatched ethnographic writing produced through a philosopher's effort to open horizons of geographic knowledge and turn them into superb scholarship on "repurposed cities." This original and mesmerizing take on Berlin and Johannesburg explains how their urban space, organized around a defunct social order (the authoritarian state and apartheid), is being used by their residents in new ways. Based on visits to numerous sites in both cities and interviews with residents and community leaders as well as through observation, photographs, and at times participant observation, Dr. Kukla imaginatively takes us to the streets while skillfully narrating how repurposed urban spaces and their inhabitants shape one another." -- Marianna Pavlovskaya, Hunter College, "...in City Living, Kukla presents the reader with an illuminating theoretical and social analysis of urban spaces and how they are constituted through both the material and social environment of those spaces as well as the activities of those who live in them...
