As a consequence, novel insights and experiences reveal contemporary urbanity in all its contradictory fullness. This is vital and beautifully crafted urbanism.\"—Edgar Pieterse, University of Cape Town\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Christine Hentschel’s theoretically sharp book shows how the pursuit of security dynamically organizes—and simultaneously fragments—urban life. In a major contribution to criminology as well as to urban studies, Hentschel acknowledges the reality of violence and fear but, refreshingly, avoids dystopian clichés in a work that is as relevant for Chicago and Detroit as it is for Rio and Bogotá.\"—Mariana Valverde, University of Toronto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Spatial Governance from Death to Life\u003cbr\u003e1.
