Urban Protest

Laurie Taylor explores the latest research into how society works, and explores the links between urban protest and capitalist development with David Harvey and Sophie Watson.

From the Paris Commune to the 'Right to the City', cities have long been the centre of utopian dreams and protests. They have generated riches, destitution, celebration and organised and often violent protest. Professor David Harvey, the acclaimed social geographer, talks to Laurie Taylor about the urban roots of the contemporary capitalist crisis and the vision of a city for all. They're joined by the sociologist, Sophie Watson.
Producer: Charlie Taylor.
