The book’s anthology contributes to the current debate regarding these issues, and these articles are organized into three parts. The first group of articles constitutes the prelude; the second is primarily centered on conceptual debates, while the third group is based on case studies and projects for illustrating the arguments. All the articles reflect, at different levels, the critical preoccupation of the use of interdisciplinary approaches, tools and methods for research and practice and for producing and understanding alternative and inclusive urban spaces and societies. They also highlight the tensions and conflicts shaped by dominant narratives, images and regulations for making room and space for innovation geared by inter and multidisciplinary processes and practices
