    Author : Berta Flaquer; Kristina L. Nilsson; Jennie Sjöholm; Andrea Luciani; Peter Sköld; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Arkitektur; Architecture;

    Abstract : Through an engagement with the strand of critical urban theory, this dissertation brings the reworkings of Henri Lefebvre’s notion of ‘planetary urbanisation’ into a new synthesis with further inputs from urban political ecology and feminism—towards developing an ecofeminist lens to urbanization.
