Abstract The first part of this chapter introduces key concepts relevant for a history of urban activism, and sheds light on developments relevant to the problem of historicising urban (social) movements during the ‘long 1970s’, when a convergence of ideological and economic changes coalesced with the social and spatial consequences of the urban crisis. The second part of the chapter sketches the content of the volume and introduces each chapter separately.
