This book delves into a comprehensive comparative analysis of housing contention in Budapest and Bucharest from 2008 to 2021. It sheds light on the profound impact of the financialization of housing, leading to inequalities, expulsions, and social unrest. These two East European cities, situated outside the typical purview of urban movements research, present a captivating case study of similar structural conditions under different political constellations at national and local levels. Instead of seeking linear narratives linking structural tensions to politicized claims, the book offers a detailed contextual analysis of various forms of contention, their intricate interactions, and their broader political-structural backdrop, encompassing the tensions surrounding political silence. The authors employ a "structural field of contention" approach to examine the multifaceted ways in which structural tensions emerge or remain unpoliticized within contemporary social movements. This approach encompasses a multi-dimensional examination of the interplay between economic, social, and political factors, highlighting the complex dynamics that shape urban conflicts. The book appeals to a wide range of readers, including those interested in understanding the contemporary dynamics of urban tensions and social movements.
