The Rise of Urban Squatting and Self-Build Movements

Exploring the global rise of squatting and self-build movements, this chapter discusses their common roots in mass migration and land seizures, and how poverty today is connected to colonial land alienation. It also delves into the convergence of left and right politics around squatting, the concept of self-build movements in Europe, and the impact of privatization on the illegality of squatting.
