It goes beyond the risk and resilience paradigm and proposes methodological and pragmatic strategies to cope with severe forms of uncertainty and socio-spatial inequalities. Showcasing expert contributions from leading scholars, this book illustrates how a specific research focus on fragility and antifragility may elucidate some key value-based facets of contemporary cities and regions in order to foster sustainability, innovation and justice.

Exploring conceptual, methodological and case-based aspects, this incisive book will be of great interest to academics and students within the fields of urban studies, cities and urban geography, architecture, social sciences, philosophy, technology and innovation studies.
