Fronts: Military Urbanisms and the Developing World (ORO EDITIONS)

Fronts uncovers a growing geography of codependence between the global security complex and the urban morphologies of the developing world which it increasingly incriminates. Military training sites, and the real-world informal environments they replicate, provide a lens through which we can better understand the shape of the city to come. While the world continues to urbanize, military doctrine has recently and dramatically shifted to view the worldâ€™s cities as suspect sites of potential aggression. As the majority of new urban life will manifest as informal development, the world is now more than ever explicitly divided in two camps â€“ those who view the informal city as an opportunity, and those who view the informal city as a threat.
