For the People, By the People: A Visual Story of the DIY City, by Afaina de Jong
What does it mean when people act as the urban change agents that direct the life and death of the world’s cities. Fusing photography with a manifesto-like text, the book marks the people in the streets as the starting point of urban trends and cultural innovation.
