Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Insurgent Urbanisms are often portrayed as spontaneous, grassroots responses to the inequities embedded in urban policies and—operating entirely outside state structures. But are they truly autonomous? In Insurgent Urbanisms in the Americas, Kristine Stiphany and Edna Ely-Ledesma offer a new perspective on how struggles for more inclusive and equitable cities take shape—and how they transform the very institutions and spaces they confront.
From Brazil’s favelas to Ecuador’s suburbios, and Puerto Rico’s hurricane-battered shores to the gentrified centers of U.S. cities, marginalized communities have long challenged dominant models of urban development. Over time, these struggles have not only resisted the status quo but have become new modes of urbanism and sites of planning. Stiphany and Ely-Ledesma show how insurgencies connect across places while remaining deeply context-specific—tracing their origins in housing movements, their evolution through co-produced knowledge, and their reinvention in response to climate crisis. Through powerful field research and firsthand activism, contributors reveal how insurgencies not only resist but actively reshape urban orders, built environments, and public landscapes—issuing a compelling call to make urbanism matter.
This volume is essential reading for students, educators, and practitioners of design and urban planning, Latin American and Latinx studies, and spatial justice—anyone seeking to understand how insurgency becomes a method for transforming cities.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
