From the urban revolution to the age of cities?

Juval Portugali

Chapter 10 in The Second Urban Revolution, 2025, pp 249-271 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter continues from Chapter 9 by identifying in the Israeli-Palestinian periphery all the signs and characteristics of the contemporary urban revolution, which gives rise to the 21st century as “the age of cities and complexity.” In particular, the following signals are prominent from this peripheral viewpoint: the urbanization of nationalism, the crisis of democracy and its urbanization, and the urbanization of borders and of war. While the latter signs are essentially global, the following signals are specific to this peripheral perspective: the urbanization of antisemitism, the return of the anti-Semitic meme, and the return of the “Jewish problem.”
