Controlling Urban Events

This book explores the relation between space, law and control in the contemporary city - and particularly in relation to urban 'mega events' - through a combined geographical and normative analysis. This book will be of considerable interest to those working in critical urban geography, critical legal studies and surveillance and control studies.
