Erik Swyngedouw reflects on the uncanny choreographic affinity between recent urban protests in the Middle East and eruptions of discontent and urban protests in Athens, Berlin, Lisbon, London, Lyon, Madrid, Paris and Rome among many other cities.  Drawing on these recent urban insurgencies he explores the role of urban space for the question of social justice and political equality and invites us to re-think what precisely urban in equality is all about.
