Even though violent conflicts have transformed cities during the XX century, it is nowadays possible to identify the phenomenon of "Tensions" as a specific contemporary both social and spatial urban changes catalyst.Through a collection of essays from various disciplines focusing on international case studies—from India to Europe to Latin America— the publication explores the multifaceted concept of "spatial tensions" as a lens for better understanding contemporary urban transformations.
