Full textAbstract:
As the negative impacts of climate change become increasingly apparent, many city leaders and policymakers have begun to regard climate action as both a fiscal challenge and strategic economic opportunity. However, addressing the increasingly evident threats of climate change in the neoliberal, post-financial-crisis city raises several questions about its equitable implementation. This paper suggests that the prioritisation of a specific mode of climate resilient urban development represents a departure from the previous decades’ movement toward sustainable urbanism. We refer to this new development paradigm as ‘climate urbanism’, a policy orientation that (1) promotes cities as the most viable and appropriate sites of climate action and (2) prioritises efforts to protect the physical and digital infrastructures of urban economies from the hazards associated with climate change. We argue that the potential social justice impacts of climate urbanism have not been fully interrogated. Certainly, cities are appropriate sites for addressing climate change, but in the current neoliberal context, the transition from policy rhetoric to climate action presents a potentially problematic landscape of inequality and injustice. With that in mind, this paper offers a critical lens to evaluate the merits of climate urbanism and to interrogate its potential outcomes.

As visions of smart urbanism gain traction around the world, it is crucial that we question the benefits that an increasingly technologised urbanity promise. It is not about the technology, but bettering peoples’ lives, insist smart city advocates. In this paper, I question the progressive potential of the smart city drawing on the case of Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative. Using the case studies of the smart home and ‘learning to code’ movement, I highlight the limits of such ‘smart’ interventions as they are stunted by the neoliberal-developmental logics of the state, thereby facilitating authoritarian consolidation in Singapore. As such, this paper distinguishes itself from previous works on the neoliberal smart city by situated smart urbanism within the socio-political dynamics of neoliberalism-as-developmental strategy. For smart urbanism to better peoples’ everyday lives, technological ‘solutionism’ needs to be replaced with more human-centric framings and understandings of urban challenges.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to an in-depth understanding of China’s ongoing urban development by engaging with the theoretical dialogue of neoliberalism. It takes decentralization and marketization as the governance background to examine the evolving policy of land, housing and public service in China, with a particular focus on Chongqing. The mismatches experienced under the evolving policy are also discussed. Design/methodology/approach By reviewing and consulting related literature, archives, statistical yearbooks, government reports, local newspapers and urban planning documents, this paper offers an overview of urban policy in China. The authors have also taken two field trips and conducted interviews in Chongqing in Summer 2012 and Winter 2013. Findings This paper finds that urban China’s land, housing and public service markets have been re-regulated, with a rescaling of statehood, recalibration of central-local relations and reinvented urban governance in the post-reform era. These policies have evolved from the market-oriented principles of early reforms to a more hybrid approach for which the policies have matured and state intervention has been reintroduced. Mismatches have been generated by this evolution. Originality/value This paper provides an up-to-date examination of new initiatives for policy adjustment in urban China, with a closer look at Chongqing, one of the most dynamic contemporary metropolises in the country. It has important implications for the debate over China’s engagement with neoliberal urbanism. Also, it empirically reveals the mismatches created by the latest policy initiatives.

Gray, Neil. "Neoliberal urbanism and spatial composition in recessionary Glasgow." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2015. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6833/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that urbanisation has become increasingly central to capital accumulation strategies, and that a politics of space - commensurate with a material conjuncture increasingly subsumed by rentier capitalism - is thus necessarily required. The central research question concerns whether urbanisation represents a general tendency that might provide an immanent dialectical basis for a new spatial politics. I deploy the concept of class composition to address this question. In Italian Autonomist Marxism (AM), class composition is understood as the conceptual and material relation between ‘technical’ and ‘political’ composition: ‘technical composition’ refers to organised capitalist production, capital’s plans as it were; ‘political composition’ refers to the degree to which collective political organisation forms a basis for counter-power. The research question is developed through a review of historical and contemporary urban literature by way of a distinctive marriage of AM and urban geographical literature, with a specific focus on the city of Glasgow as an exemplary case study. Given the widely-acknowledged housing crisis and the commodification of land and property markets more generally, the urgency of addressing the research question is self-evident. Yet tenants’ and residents’ movements are very fragmented in Glasgow, and the UK more generally, despite the obvious impact that the privatisation of space has on basic social reproductive needs. This thesis addresses this lacuna in a two-fold manner: firstly, by stressing the compositional significance of urbanisation as an increasingly hegemonic tendency in capital accumulation strategies; secondly, by arguing for an immanent politics of space based on contemporary urban conditions. Empirical research was conducted through three case studies in Glasgow. The first examines the historical socio-spatial development of the city itself, while the second and third focus more closely on large-scale regeneration projects in the north and east of the city. These studies affirm the prevalence of contemporary urban accumulation strategies in Glasgow, and the pressing need for a commensurate politics of space.

Cities are formed by a set of official practices supported by their normative institutions, and also by unofficial practices, that escape the norms and that bring other possibilities, other urgencies. The term tactical urbanism began to be used in the first decade of the 21st century to designate such practices in urbanism, referring generally to temporary, informal and somewhat contentious urban interventions in official practices and contemporary cities. However, the theoretical, artistic and political references of the practitioners of Tactical Urbanism refer to a much broader and complex role of practices that are often presented as an alternative to the Neoliberal Urbanism, currently hegemonic in the production of cities. However, there is still a certain theoretical and methodological gap regarding the tactical movements of urban production, which make it difficult to understand their capabilities and analyze their effects. In this sense, this research tried to construct a conceptual panorama on the Tactical Urbanism, exemplified with several practitioners and practices, sometimes called as such, sometimes indifferent to the term but within it. For this, a Taxonomy of Tactical Urbanism was elaborated, which brings eleven categories of analysis, elaborated in eighty-four subcategories, with the purpose of providing a reading for such practices and facilitating the articulation between their ideas, agents and objectives. For the elaboration of the Taxonomy, forty practices were charted and cataloged, exemplifying the various narratives that compose the discourse of urban tactics, representative of the work of great exponents of this discourse and also of the urban realities of the five continents. The Taxonomy is available on online platform, which allows the processing of complex data and collaborative data feeding. In this study, we demonstrate several ways of using the Taxonomy of Tactical Urbanism, among them, the triangulation between specific categories with the objective of verifying how Tactical Urbanism contributes in the fight for the right to the city, in the constitution of urban commons and in the confrontation with Neoliberal Urbanism. This articulation allowed us to conclude that the tactical self-denominated practices, closer to what was popularized with the label of Tactical Urbanism, present generally fragile arrangements as alternative possibilities to the neoliberal city, while the practices that are better able to promote the right to the city and to experience the constitution of commons, are those that take the tactic beyond the tactic, combining it in strategic movements, more aligned with the traditional struggles for urban justice. Such a conclusion reveals the need for critical thinking to better subsidize such actions, helping to circumvent the pitfalls and enhance the capacities of collaboration, participation and empowerment of multitude, which Tactical Urbanism can bring as contributions to the construction of more just cities.
As cidades são formadas por um conjunto de práticas oficiais sustentadas por suas instituições normativas e, também, por práticas não oficiais, que escapam às normas e que trazem outras possibilidades, outras urgências. O termo Urbanismo Tático passou a ser utilizado na primeira década do Século XXI para designar tais práticas em urbanismo, referindo-se, geralmente, a intervenções urbanas temporárias, informais e de certa forma contestadoras às práticas oficiais e às cidades contemporâneas. Porém, as referências teóricas, artísticas e políticas dos praticantes do Urbanismo Tático remetem a um rol muito mais amplo e complexo de práticas que se colocam, frequentemente, como alternativa ao Urbanismo Neoliberal, atualmente hegemônico na produção das cidades. No entanto, há ainda um certo vazio teórico e metodológico no que diz respeito aos movimentos táticos da produção urbana, que dificultam compreender suas capacidades e analisar seus efeitos. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa buscou construir um panorama conceitual sobre o Urbanismo Tático, exemplificado com diversos praticantes e práticas, ora autodenominadas como tal, ora indiferentes ao termo mas enquadráveis a ele. Para tanto, foi elaborada uma Taxonomia do Urbanismo Tático, que traz onze categorias de análise, esmiuçadas em oitenta e quatro subcategorias, com o objetivo de fornecer uma leitura para tais práticas e facilitar a articulação entre suas ideias, seus agentes e objetivos. Para a elaboração da Taxonomia foram cartografadas e catalogadas quarenta práticas, exemplificativas das várias narrativas que compõem o discurso das táticas urbanas, representativas do trabalho de grandes expoentes desse discurso e, também, das realidades urbanas dos cinco continentes. A Taxonomia encontra-se disponível em plataforma on line, que permite o tratamento de dados complexos e a alimentação colaborativa de dados. Neste estudo, são demonstradas várias formas de utilização da Taxonomia do Urbanismo Tático, dentre elas, a triangulação entre categorias específicas com o objetivo de verificar como o Urbanismo Tático contribui na luta pelo direito à cidade, na constituição de comuns urbanos e no enfrentamento ao Urbanismo Neoliberal. Tal articulação permitiu concluir que as práticas autodenominadas táticas, mais próximas daquilo que se popularizou com a etiqueta do Urbanismo Tático, apresentam arranjos geralmente frágeis como possibilidades alternativas à cidade neoliberal, enquanto as práticas que reúnem maiores condições de promoverem o direito à cidade e de experimentarem a constituição de comuns, são aquelas que levam a tática para além da tática, combinando-a em movimentos estratégicos, mais alinhados com as tradicionais lutas por justiça urbana. Tal conclusão revela a necessidade de o pensamento crítico melhor subsidiar tais ações, ajudando a contornar as ciladas e a potencializar as capacidades de colaboração, participação e empoderamento da multidão, que o Urbanismo Tático pode trazer como contribuições para a construção de cidades mais justas.

Backholm, Johan. "Urban Redevelopment in Shenzhen, China : Neoliberal Urbanism, Gentrification, and Everyday Life in Baishizhou Urban Village." Thesis, KTH, Urbana och regionala studier, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-246188.
Full textAbstract:
Urban redevelopment is increasingly used as a policy tool for economic growth by local governments in Chinese cities, which is taking place amid rapid urbanization and in an expanding globalized economy. Along with the spatial transformation, urban redevelopment often entails socioeconomic change in the form of processes of gentrification, which is propelled by the dominance of neoliberal market-oriented policy and practice in the country. This thesis analyzes the spatial political economy of urban redevelopment in China through a case study on Baishizhou urban village in Shenzhen in south-eastern China. Setting out from the broad concern over urban inequality, socio-spatial segregation, ‘the right to the city’, and sustainability in contemporary critical urban theory, the thesis constructs a theoretical framework involving the concepts of neoliberal urbanism, gentrification, sustainable urban development, as well as ‘bottom-up urbanism’ approaches. Employing this framework, the case study conducts a macro-level city comprehensive plan analysis, a meso-level urban village redevelopment site plan analysis, and micro-level interview study and ethnographic observations of everyday life and space in the urban village. On the basis of this study, the thesis makes the arguments that: Neoliberal urbanism is certainly active in the spatial political economy of urban redevelopment in Shenzhen and China, and is markedly state-led under authoritarian governance structures that encourage increased marketization; The ongoing processes of gentrification in the urban village are intertwined with local and national political systems and social arrangements, and cause stress for the migrant tenants of the urban village, which clearly is not in line with the urban sustainability discourse of the UN’s New Urban Agenda; The tactic responses and individual coping-strategies found in the urban village reveals a condition of both precarity and agency in the everyday lives of the often marginalized poor that inhabit this urban space, which in turn point at emergent alternative urban (re)development trajectories. Moreover, the bottom-up urbanism approach sheds light on both discrepancy and compliance with the dominant top-down redevelopment policy, and is further suggested to inform the production of policy frameworks that can better facilitate local implementation of the New Urban Agenda in China.Stadsomvandling och sanering används allt oftare som policyverktyg av kinesiska städers lokala regeringar för att uppnå ekonomisk tillväxt, vilket sker under en tid av hög urbaniseringstakt och en växande globaliserad ekonomi. Utöver den rumsliga omdaningen medför stadsomvandling även socioekonomiska förändringar i form av gentrifieringsprocesser, som i sin tur pådrivs av den i landet rådande neoliberala och marknadsorienterade politiska riktningen och dess praktiska tillämpning. Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera den rumsliga politiska ekonomin i stadsomvandling i Kina genom en fallstudie av ’stadsbyn’ (eng. ’urban village’) Baishizhou i Shenzhen i sydöstra Kina. Studien utformar ett teoretiskt ramverk som bygger på de analytiska koncepten neoliberal urbanism, gentrifiering, hållbar stadsutveckling, samt ’bottom-up urbanism’, och tar sitt avstamp i den samtida kritiska urbanteorins betonande av urban ojämlikhet, social och rumslig segregation, rätten till staden, och hållbarhet. Utifrån detta ramverk utför fallstudien en analys av stadens översiktsplan på makronivå, en analys av detaljplanen för saneringen av stadsbyn på mesonivå, samt en intervju- och etnografisk observationsstudie av stadsbyns vardagsliv och rum på mikronivå. På grundval av fallstudien drar uppsatsen följande slutsatser: Neoliberal urbanism är synnerligen tongivande i den rumsliga politiska ekonomin i stadsomvandling i Shenzhen och Kina, och har vidare en tydligt statsledd karaktär som tar sig i uttryck genom det auktoritära politiska styrets främjande av marknadskrafter; De pågående gentrifieringsprocesserna i stadsbyn är sammanflätade med lokala och nationella politiska system och sociala konstellationer, och förorsakar olika påfrestningar för de migrant-hyresgäster som befolkar stadsbyn. Detta ligger inte i linje med den hållbarhetsdiskurs för städer som presenteras i FN’s ’New Urban Agenda’; De praktiska och företagsamma reaktioner och handlingsstrategier som uppvisas i stadsbyn tyder på ett tillstånd av både sårbarhet och personlig agens i det dagliga livet hos de marginaliserade och fattiga som utgör befolkningen i detta stadsrum. Detta visar även på nya alternativa synsätt på stadsutveckling och stadsomvandling. Den analytiska ansatsen ’bottom-up urbanism’ synliggör dessutom både diskrepans och samstämmighet med den rådande toppstyrda (’top-down’) stadsomvandlings policyn, och anses således kunna ligga till grund för framtagandet av nya politiska ramverk som kan underlätta för implementeringen av New Urban Agenda i Kina.

Full textAbstract:
In October 2019, a wave of massive demonstrations took place in Santiago de Chile and this movement was stamped in several newspaper covers worldwide. People shouting against the Chilean neoliberal system, holding posters with anti-imperialist sayings, and organizing artistic interventions on the streets went viral in social media. The message was clear – for several consecutive months, people in Chile were actively questioning the political, economic, and societal systems as well as the power struggles faced in the country. Relying on the 2019-2020 Chilean Uprising as a case study, this research investigates the consistency of the Santiago de Chile demonstrations by connecting its social claims to the field of urban studies for the understanding of social and spatial constructions. The thesis relies on postcolonial, decolonial, and critical urban theories, a critical perspective of the neoliberal system, the Lefebvrian Right to the City concept, and Manuel Castells' grassroots movements definition, as well as semi structured interviews and newspapers articles as empirical data for the enhancement of the debate.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how planning policy and practice is responding to the challenge of climate change, particularly in contexts where neoliberal rationales and practices frame decision making. It documents patterns of devolving government responsibilities and experiences of market based mechanisms before reporting on institutional and professional responses to these conditions. The research centred on a qualitative case study and involved thematic content analysis of policy documents and informant interviews. The contribution of the research and thesis is to establish the outlook for climate change adaptation under neoliberal conditions, and to introduce strategies for planners operating within these conditions.

Baumann, Hanna. "Navigating the neoliberal settler city : Palestinian mobility in Jerusalem between exclusion and incorporation." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2017. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/270336.
Full textAbstract:
The mobility of Palestinian residents of Jerusalem is usually understood in terms of exclusion, reflecting their lack of access to urban services more broadly as well as the restrictive mobility regime at work across the Palestinian territories. Yet after fifty years of Israeli occupation, a more complex and contradictory situation has emerged in the city. This dissertation uses mobility as a vehicle to arrive at a more integrated understanding of the paradoxical manner in which Palestinian Jerusalemites are simultaneously excluded from and incorporated into the city and to analyse how they negotiate their interstitial and often contradictory position. The thesis approaches the question of Palestinian quotidian movement by engaging with theoretical work on mobility and embodied movement as well as from empirical study including eight months of on-site research. In its three core sections, the work examines in detail several manifestations of the restriction, facilitation, and contested nature of mobility. In the first section, a discussion of Palestinian exclaves and enclaves of the city shows the continuities of mobility’s exclusionary effects on both sides of the Separation Wall. This limitation of movement leads to a restriction of spatio-political possibilities – but at the same time, Palestinians expand the horizon of what is possible through everyday and leisure practices. The second section employs two case studies of recent public transport developments in East Jerusalem to examine how incorporation is operationalised through everyday movements across urban space. The third section analyses the paradoxical role of mobility as the result of a tension between the settler colonial and the neoliberal logics concurrently at work in the city. On the one hand, the restriction of movement gradually renders the Palestinians as external to their city. On the other, the facilitation and regulation of mobility in East Jerusalem also serves to normalise Israeli rule and constitute Palestinians as incorporated urban residents, thereby undermining long-term aspirations for autonomy in the east of the city. The examination of the manner in which mobilities are contested in Jerusalem shows that movement, although often associated with freedom and independence, is essential for negotiating the terms of interdependence in the city.

Sanzana, Calvet M. G. "The greening of neoliberal urbanism in Santiago de Chile : urbanisation by green enclaves and the production of a new socio-nature in Chicureo." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2016. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1521592/.
Full textAbstract:
Urban enclaves - private and gated developments for elitist groups - are a worldwide spread mode of colonisation of the peri-urban and countryside of metropolitan areas, in a context of cities under capitalist globalisation and urban neoliberalisation. At the same time, environmental concerns and environmentalism are acknowledged as increasingly relevant drivers of change in urban planning and urbanism worldwide, as a myriad of public and private initiatives of urban sustainability and urban greening are reported in cities worldwide. This thesis examines the intertwining of neoliberal urbanism and urban greening in the urban enclaves that sprouted in Santiago de Chile in the late 1990s, amidst the political tensions of the period of political transition to democracy and the debates over the continuity or dismissal of Pinochet's neoliberal legacy for the urban policies. Although many studies have focused on the Chilean neoliberal experiment, the role of environmentalism and environmental discourses in the reforms to urban growth policies in Santiago in the postdictatorial period remains unexplored. And, despite the debates over social inequality triggered by their rise, the environmental transformation that the new urban enclaves have produced and their role in the production of environmental inequality have not been substantially addressed. This study analyses the linkages between neoliberal urbanism and urban greening in the making, maintaining and living of urban enclaves in Chicureo, in Santiago's metropolitan countryside. Anchored on Urban Political Ecology proposals, this research examines the role of a new urban metabolism of material flows and subjectivity driven by the urban enclaves in the production of a new socio-nature in Chicureo. The findings suggest that the assemblage of innovations in neoliberal planning, market environmentalism and elitist utopianism is generating green enclaves that reproduce social privilege and environmental inequality. Nevertheless, tensions and conflicts account for possibilities of alternative directions in Chicureo's development.

El presente trabajo pretende indagar sobre las reestructuraciones urbanas y los conflictos que se vienen desarrollando en las áreas centrales y pericentrales del Área Metropolitana de Mendoza, ante la emergencia de rasgos del urbanismo neoliberal. Para ello, se tomará como caso de estudio el proceso de renovación que desde comienzos del nuevo siglo se viene desarrollando en un sector de la zona pericentral de Guaymallén, a partir de grandes inversiones públicas y privadas. Esta área se localiza en un espacio estratégico del Área Metropolitana de Mendoza, posee un alto valor inmobiliario y una importante riqueza patrimonial. Pero durante las últimas tres décadas del siglo pasado se vio pauperizada de modo considerable a partir de la
implementación de políticas neoliberales en su faceta destructiva, dejando como resultado un empobrecimiento de la población, la falta de obras públicas, la desaparición de empresas e instituciones, y el surgimiento de una gran cantidad de baldíos urbanos.Fil: Magallanes, Rodrigo Martín.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, the ‘Smart City’ label has emerged as a popular umbrella term for numerous projects around the world that claim to offer an enhanced urban experience, often provided in collaboration with international companies through private-public partnerships. As smart cities pledge to create long-term economic sustainability and progressive form of urban entrepreneurialism, it is getting important to highlight risks such as the reduced role of the public sector, technological dominance and data privacy.In contrast to more a conventional, long-term, holistic master planning, a technologically pre-determined form of Smart City endangers the emancipator usage of public spaces as spaces of diversity, creativity, inclusive citizen participation and urban sustainability.This research approaches the concept of Smart Cities as a future category and, thus, targets to develop a comprehensive visual analysis based on architectural representations in the form of computer-generated images (CGI’s). The Quayside project, a notable and widely criticized urban development project, by Sidewalk Toronto, a cooperation between Waterfront Toronto and Sidewalk Labs which is a sister subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., has been selected as Smart City case study as. Visual analysis was conducted by using the theoretical frame advocating ‘Coordinating Smart Cities’ in contrast to ‘Prescriptive Smart Cities’ by Richard Sennett. In addition to Sennett’s concept of ‘Incomplete Form’, Jan Gehl’s ‘Twelve Quality Criteria’ was used as coding categories to elaborate the content analysis which was followed by semiological and compositional interpretations. Visuals have been investigated in three sequential sets and analyzed focusing on time-based comparative frequency counts for sets of visuals. Concentrating on how future public spaces are illustrated, the study aims to uncover and to discuss how Smart Cities are being imagined and advertised.

Beschon, Marie. "Euroméditerranée ou la ville de papier : ethnographie du monde des aménageurs." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019EHES0135.
Full textAbstract:
Décrétée Opération d’Intérêt National en 1995, Euroméditerranée est un projet urbain qui s’étend au Nord du centre-ville de Marseille. Revendiquant un nouvel urbanisme de processus, Euroméditerranée est présenté comme un projet pensé et mis en œuvre pour les habitants. Cependant, le résultat de ses transformations et sa rationalité donnent à voir un projet davantage pensé pour une nouvelle population. En outre, les aménageurs d’Euroméditerranée appréhendent leurs missions comme un « sacerdoce » au service d’une ville sinistrée qui ne saurait se réaliser sans Euroméditerranée. Les techniciens de l’aménagement de l’Etablissement Public d’Administration d’Euroméditerranée (EPAEM) sont prêts à « faire le bonheur de la ville malgré elle ». Ainsi reconnaissent-ils le conflit qui peut exister entre leurs prétentions « sociales » et la réalité du projet : malgré les réticences des habitants, les aménageurs savent ce dont la ville a besoin dans une société néolibérale. Néanmoins, leur « réalisme » n’épuise pas leur sensibilité. L’observation de leur quotidien montre des aménageurs conscients des limites d’Euroméditerranée pour les habitants déjà-là, voire aptes à la critique. Dans l’intimité de leurs bureaux, ils se désolidarisent de leur direction générale et dénoncent l’absence de considération pour les habitants. Comment ces sensibilités techniciennes se concilient-elles avec la machine administrative de l’EPAEM et la « thérapie de choc » Euroméditerranéenne ? Cette thèse ambitionne de rendre compte du monde des aménageurs dans leur volonté de dialogue avec les habitants à partir de leur « sensibilité sociale » et depuis les contraintes auxquelles ils ont affaire, voire qu’ils se créent, à savoir des relents d’urbanisme fonctionnaliste dans un contexte néolibéral et la croyance en un devoir moral d’agir. Organisé en trois parties qui pénètrent dans leur quotidien, depuis l’appréhension d’Euroméditerranée selon ses termes de références aux pratiques des aménageurs en passant par l’analyse de leurs représentations, mon exposé révèle un monde d’aménageurs en l’état impropres au dialogue avec la ville habitée. Incommodés par la raison néolibérale du projet, ils refusent d’affronter les impacts sociaux de leurs opérations et se consolent dans l’idée de bien faire, fussent les habitants incapables de le comprendre. L’observation de leur quotidien montre des aménageurs en position d’experts légitimes qui décident du sort de la ville dans un entre-soi technicien. A partir de diagnostics externalisés, ils gèrent des populations quantifiées et des territoires numérisés, et opèrent sur une ville qu’ils aplatissent, quadrillent et découpent au gré de leurs besoins. Néanmoins, ces techniciens n’apparaissent pas comme de simples soldats au service de ; ils se montrent actifs dans la poursuite des objectifs qu’ils peuvent intimement récriminer. Ils apparaissent coproducteurs de leurs incapacités « sociales », en assumant Euroméditerranée comme la seule alternative possible à la « crise » marseillaise, en se percevant comme ceux qui savent. Ainsi cet exposé suggère-t-il que la relation entre aménageurs et habitants relève d’un conflit pragmatique et épistémologique qui transforme la volonté initiale des aménageurs de dialoguer avec les habitants en un dialogue avec une ville de papier fictionnelleDecreed Operation of National Interest in 1995, Euroméditerranée is an urban renewal project that stretches in the north of downtown Marseille. Demanding a new urbanism process, Euroméditerranée is presented as a project thought and implemented for the inhabitants. However, the result of its transformations and its rationality show a project more thought for a new population. In addition, while wanting to break with a functionalist and progressive urbanism, the planners of Euroméditerranée apprehend their missions as a “priesthood” in the service of a disaster-stricken city that could not achieve itself without Euroméditerranée. The urban planners of the Public Establishment of Administration of Euroméditerranée (EPAEM) are ready to "make the happiness of the city in spite of it". Thus, they recognize the conflict that may exist between their “social” claims and the reality of the project: whatever the reluctance of the inhabitants, the planners know what the city needs in a neoliberal society.Nevertheless, their "realism" does not exhaust their sensitivity. The observation of their daily practice shows planners aware of the limits of Euroméditerranée for the inhabitants already there, even able to criticize. In the privacy of their offices, they dissociate themselves from their senior management and denounce the lack of consideration of the inhabitants. How do these technical sensitivities reconcile with EPAEM's administrative machine and Euromediterranean "shock therapy"? With this thesis, I try to give an account of the world of the planners in their will of dialogue with the inhabitants starting from their "social sensitivity" and from the constraints which they have to deal with, even those they create themselves, namely the smacks of functionalist urbanism in a neoliberal context and the belief in a moral duty to act.Organized in three parts that gradually penetrate their daily lives, since the apprehension of Euroméditerranée according to its own terms of reference to the practices of planners through the analysis of their representations, my presentation reveals a world of planners in an unfit state for dialogue with the inhabited city. Disrupted by the neoliberal reason behind the project, they refuse to face the social impacts of their operations and are consoled with the idea of doing well for the inhabitants, even if the latter are unable to understand it. Observation of their daily lives also shows planners in the position of legitimate experts who decide the fate of the city in a close-minded, technician-like environment far from the inhabited city. From outsourced diagnoses, they manage quantified populations and digitized territories, and they operate on a city of paper that they flatten, crisscross and cut according to their needs. Nevertheless, these technicians do not appear as mere soldiers in the service of; they are active in the pursuit of objectives that they may intimately recriminate. They appear to be co-producers of their "social" incapacities, assuming Euroméditerranée as the only possible alternative to the Marseilles "crisis", perceiving themselves as those who know. Thus, this presentation suggests that the relationship between planners and inhabitants is a pragmatic and epistemological conflict that transforms the initial willingness of planners to dialogue with residents in a dialogue with a fictional paper city

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the correspondence between current patterns of urban governance and neoliberal authoritarianism, in an urbanism marked by the accentuation of coercion and legal administrative mechanisms that favour the reproduction of capital in urban space and restrict the space for popular action and resistance. To this end, we expose and analyse the cases of Turkey and Brazil, with emphasis on the correlation between urban governance and capital accumulation. The cases explored demonstrate the spatial dimension of capital reproduction, and how this directly impacts the lives of impoverished city inhabitants. We analyse the cases of Turkey and Brazil, based on the discussion of the commodification of territories, the expropriation of common goods and their re-appropriation by capital. To interpret the current phase of capital accumulation in cities, we present and discuss the concept of neoliberal authoritarian Urbanism, which combines historical urban actors such as landlords, developers, builders, banks with an increasingly authoritarian state in the development of large urban projects and real estate developments. This growing association between autocratic personalities of state power and private actors poses new challenges for understanding the production of urban space.

Full textAbstract:
En el contexto generalizado de crisis en el que la transición sociohistórica y cultural condiciona la
construcción científica así como la organización político-social del presente, al que se añade el actual
proceso de globalización, este trabajo pretende repensar nuevas formas urbanas y construcciones
normativas. Se aspira mostrar el diálogo entre el Derecho y el Urbanismo como adecuado para la
construcción de un discurso jurídico sensibilizado por la realidad y nutrido por otras áreas del conocimiento
como forma de alcanzar la eficacia social de la norma en el sentido del derecho a la ciudad.
Dar nuevos sentidos a las construcciones normativas y a su efectividad es una de las alternativas posibles
visualizadas en la gran contradicción de este siglo. Por tanto, el estudio se desarrolla desde una perspectiva
interdisciplinar, en que el derecho a la ciudad se presenta como la categoría analítica adecuada, ya que
permite que se construya un contrapunto al consenso de ciudad y de enfoque jurídico actual.
El espacio costero de Barcelona fue elegido como caso referencia por presentar importantes elementos de
análisis, a saber: la planificación urbanística conocida como “modelo Barcelona”; la configuración de la
ciudad como sede de los Juegos Olímpicos de 1992 y, su actual contexto de ciudad capitalista neoliberal
que permite la reflexión sobre los fenómenos urbanos presentes en su territorio. In the general context of crisis, this work opens a space for rethinking new urban forms and legal
instruments. Envisages demonstrating the possibilities of dialogue between Law and Urbanism for the
construction of a legal discourse sensitized by the reality and nurtured by other knowledge areas as a way to
achieve social efficiency of the law within the meaning of the right to city.
Giving new meaning to normative constructions and their effectiveness is one possible alternative witnessed
on the great contradictions of this century.
The study is developed from an interdisciplinary perspective between Law and Urbanism. The right to the
city is presented as the appropriate analytical category since it allows for building a counterpoint between the
consensus of city and the current legal approach.
Barcelona and its coastal zone have been chosen as a reference case as it features important elements of
analysis: “Barcelona model”, Olympic city and its current context of capitalist city of a neoliberal pattern that
allows for reflecting about the extremely actual present urban phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
Inspired by the questions about the sense of the city and the condition of contemporary urbanism, the author discusses the notion of order in the context of strategic and structural factors affecting spatial logic of a “New Polis”. Focusing on structural forces and decision-making patterns underlying the configuration of urban projects, he identifies three ways of argumentation where the possible answers could be found. These lines of reasoning can also be regarded as philosophical approaches to the problem of rationality in contemporary theories of urbanism. Using urban strategy-structure relations as the typological criterion, he distinguishes between three types of rationality – or three types of order: 1) morphological, 2) strategic and 3) synergic. In the first instance, the logic of urbanistic decisions is interpreted in the morphological context of urban structure and its dynamics. In the second case, spatial logic of urban form reflects neoliberal strategies focused on large-scale urban developments. In the third approach, called here as synergic configuration, it is assumed that strategies which pay more attention to the construction of physical and functional links between urban development projects will induce synergy expected in the overall strategy of a New Polis. Such a configuration of networked projects – and respective synergy of urbanistic construction – reflects the idea of strategic planning with a strong urban project gaming component. Focusing on structural implications of this type of urban synergy, the author proposes also the SAS (strategies – actors – structures) model. He illustrates this idea with the examples taken from the city of Krakow.

Full textAbstract:
Las políticas de planificación y gestión urbanística estatal suelen alternar y superponer propuestas de escala regional, metropolitana, sectorial-temáticas y de sector. Estas generalmente operan tanto de manera concurrente como contradictoria, trayendo consecuencias de gran impacto en la escala local. Este fenómeno, verificable en diversos territorios y recortes temporales, es aplicable al caso de la Comuna 8 de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (C.A.B.A.) debido a sus particulares características socio demográficas, político económicas y territoriales.
Este trabajo propone realizar un análisis comparativo entre dos planes propuestos para un mismo sector de territorio, en un paréntesis temporal de 10 años, durante el cual se produjo un cambio de paradigma político-económico que impactó necesariamente en la forma de articular las políticas urbanísticas en la gestión pública. En este caso, el Plan de Acciones 2001 de la Corporación Buenos Aires Sur Sociedad del Estado (CBASSE), y el Plan Maestro Comuna 8 (2011-actualmente en proceso), son reflejo de los vaivenes que fue atravesando la gestión de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Se analizarán ambos planes en relacion a los instrumentos propuestos y temáticas abordadas, intentando reconocer similitudes, diferencias, logros y errores, que permitan también evaluar la viabilidad del segundo plan, actualmente en debate en la legislatura porteña. Planning and state urban management policies usually alternate proposals for regional, metropolitan, thematic and sector. These generally operate concurrently both as contradictory, bringing reaching consequences on the local level. This phenomenon, verifiable in various territories and temporary cuts, is applicable to the case of the Commune 8 of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (C.A.B.A.) due to their particular socio -demographic characteristics, economic and territorial politics.
This presentation will aim to make a comparative analysis between two proposed plans for the same area of territory, in a 10 year time span during which there was a change of political-economic paradigm that necessarily impacted the way urbanism policies were articulated in public administration. In this case, the 2001 Action Plan of the Buenos Aires Sur State Society Corporation (CBASSE), and the 8th Commune Master Plan (2011-currently in process), reflect the fluctuations that the management of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires went through, currently held by an administration with a late-neoliberal bias, while it is in turn the capital of Argentina, a country part of the neo-developmentalist alignment of Latin America. Both plans will be analyzed aiming to identify similarities, differences, achievements and failures that may allow also assessing the feasibility of the second plan, currently under discussion in the City Legislature.

Full textAbstract:
Con el cambio político y económico hacia formas de organización neoliberales, en el mundo se
han propagado nuevas formas en que los gobiernos gestionan el territorio y sus recursos. Lo
que en un principio se promovió como formas más competitivas para el desarrollo económico y
social, a la vuelta de los años se traduce en formas de organización que han fortalecido a los
grupos de poder económico, pero que han generado efectos adversos para la población, al
contar con cada vez menos acceso a empleos de calidad, a servicios públicos básicos y a
mejores remuneraciones. En las zonas urbanas los efectos se traducen en una exacerbada
polarización socio espacial, contrastando zonas de gran calidad urbana y ambiental, con otras
precarias ausentes de los mínimos satisfactores para la calidad de vida. En este trabajo se
analizan diversas variables censales como población, empleo, ingreso y crecimiento por sector
socioeconómico para medir las condiciones de vida en las zonas metropolitanas de México en
el período 1989-2009, considerando este lapso como el de promoción y ejecución de la política
neoliberal en el país. La intención es constatar si los cambios propuestos son en realidad
catalizadores para el desarrollo económico y social, en la población de las zonas urbanas, o si
por el contrario los efectos de la política neoliberal han resultado adversos para la población
urbana. With the political and economic change towards neoliberal forms of organization in the world
have spread new ways in which governments manage the land and its resources. What was
initially promoted as being more competitive for economic and social development, along the
years translates into forms of organization that have strengthened the economic power groups,
but have generated adverse effects for the population, to have less access to quality jobs, to basic public services and worst payment for its jobs. In urban areas the effects translate into
socio-spatial polarization exacerbated contrasting areas urban and environmental of high
quality, with other precarious absent satisfactions for the minimum quality of life. In this paper
we analyze several census variables such as population, employment, income and
socioeconomic sector growth to measure the conditions of life in the metropolitan areas of
Mexico in the period 1989-2009, considering this period as the promotion and implementation of
policy neoliberal in the country. The intent is to determine whether the proposed changes are
actually catalysts for economic and social development in the urban population, or if instead the
effects of neoliberal policies have resulted adversed to urban population.

The purpose of this research is to present some of the conditions that made the Macro-project of Social Interest for the Western Center of Colombia - San José a failed urban planning operation or a white elephant. In the first place, the possibility of a normative dissonance at the national level is established as regards autonomy in the planning of each city. Subsequently, there is little evidence of involvement of other actors who could be a strategic part of the San José Macro-project and the effective renewal of this sector. Finally, it is identified that Manizales does not have a unified and clear city project that allows adjusting any urban renewal operation to a city model. This paper simultaneously addresses an analytical perspective from urban planning, and an approach oriented towards the social consequences of an urban planning exercise, as well as some symbolic dimensions of it.

Full textAbstract:
When analyzing the state of Latin American cities, particularly large ones like Buenos Aires, São Paolo and Riode Janeiro, scholars of urbanism and sociology often lean heavily on the term “fragmentation.” Through the 1980s and 1990s, the term was quickly and widely adopted to describe the widespread state of abutment between seemingly disparate urban conditions that purportedly prevented Latin American cities from developing into cohesive wholes and instead produced cities in pieces, fragments. This term, “fragmentation,” along with the idea of a city composed of mismatching parts, was central to the conception of Buenos Aires by its citizens and immortalized by the fiction of Esteban Echeverría, Julio Cortázar and César Aira. The idea that Buenos Aires is composed of discrete parts has been used throughout its history to either proactively enable or retroactively justify planning decisions by governments on both ends of the political spectrum. The 1950s and 60s saw a series of governments whose priorities lay in controlling the many newcomers to the city via large housing projects. Aided by the perception of the city as fragmented, they were able to build monster-scale developments in the parts of the city that were seen as “apart.” Later, as neoliberal democracy replaced socialist and populist leadership, commercial centers in the center of the city were built as shrines to an idealized Parisian downtown, separate from the rest of the city. The observations by scholars of the city that Buenos Aires is composed of multiple discrete parts, whether they be physical, economic or social, is accurate. However, the issue here lies not in the accuracy of the assessment but in the word chosen to describe it. The word fragmentation implies that there was a “whole” at once point, a complete entity that could be then broken into pieces, fragments. Its current usage also implies that this is a natural process, out of the hands of both planners and inhabitants. Leaning on the work of Adrián Gorelik, Pedro Pírez and Marie-France Prévôt-Schapira, and utilizing popular fiction to supplement an understanding of the urban experience, I argue that fragmentation, more than a naturally occurring phenomenon, is a fabricated concept that has been used throughout the twentieth century and through today to make all kinds of urban planning projects possible.

Full textAbstract:
The Cuban Revolution’s neglect of Havana (as part of a broader socialist project) simultaneously ruined and preserved its architectural and urban fabric. On one hand, Havana is crumbling, its fifty-plus year lack of maintenance inscribed on its cracked, decayed surfaces and the voids where buildings once stood; on the other, its formal urban fabric—its scale, dimensions, proportions, contrasts, continuities, solid/void relationships, rhythms, public spaces, and landscapes—remain intact. A free-market Cuba, while inevitable, leaves the city vulnerable to unsustainable urban development. And while many anticipate preservation, restoration, and urban development—particularly of Havana’s historic core (La Habana Vieja)—”business as usual” preservation practices resist rampant (read: neoliberal) development primarily through narrow strategies of exclusion (where, what, how, and why not to build), museumizing Havana as “a city frozen in time.”Seeking a third option at the intersection of this socialist/capitalist divide, this paper describes 4 student projects from THE CUBA STUDIO, a collaborative Integrative Urban Studio at Marywood University’s School of Architecture. Over the course of 16 weeks, students in THE CUBA STUDIO speculated urban futures for a post-revolutionary Havana–strategizing ways of preserving Havana’s architectural and urban fabric in the face of an emerging political and economic shift that is opening, albeit gradually, Cuba to global market forces. And rather than submitting to these forces, the work critically engages them toward socio-cultural ends. Some driving questions were: What kind of spatial politics do we deploy while retrofitting Havana? How will the social, political, and economic changes of an “open” Cuba affect Havana’s urban fabric? What role does preservation play? For that matter, what does preservation really mean and by what criteria are sites included in the preservation frame? What relationships are there (or could there be) between preservation, tourism, infrastructure, education, housing, and public space? In the process, students established systematic research agendas to reveal opportunities for integrated“soft” and “hard” interventions (i.e. siting and programing), constructing ecologies across a range of disciplinary territories including (but not limited to): architecture, urban design, historic preservation/ restoration, art, landscape urbanism, infrastructure,science + technology, economics, sustainability, urban policy, sociology, and cultural/political theory. An explicit goal of the studio was to expand and leverage“preservation” (as an idea, a discipline, and a practice) toward flexible and inclusive design strategies that frame precise architectural interventions at a range of temporal and geographic scales.

Desde hace ya varias décadas, de la mano con la intensificación de los patrones de acumulación capitalista y la profundización del modelo neoliberal, las grandes urbes han experimentado transformaciones crecientes en sus modalidades de desarrollo. Dentro de ellas, se destacan los procesos segregación territorial, entendidos como la agrupación en el territorio de sectores con similares características socioeconómicas y culturales. Será objeto del presente artículo presentar lo investigado en el trabajo de maestría en relación a los procesos de segregación territorial que han tenido lugar en el departamento de Montevideo en el período 1998-2011. Pese al imaginario histórico de larga data, que relataba un país de clases medias y sociedad hiperintegrada, se hace necesario problematizar las huellas materiales y simbólicas que este fenómeno evidencia en esta ciudad. Huellas que se constituyen en expresiones territoriales de la desigualdad, poniendo en duda la capacidad de integración que presentan nuestras ciudades y sociedades. For decades, the hand with the intensification of capitalist accumulation patterns and deepening of the neoliberal model, large cities have experienced changes in their patterns of development. Among them, territorial segregation processes, understood as the aggregation in the territory of sectors with similar socioeconomic and cultural characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
A crise financeira e a falência das políticas neoliberais se refletem sobre as cidades e reduzem a capacidade de investimento do Estado em políticas urbanas, fortalecendo o empreendedorismo urbano, e a ótica da escolha locacional de investimentos privados, criando um novo modelo de acumulação urbana nas cidades. Por sua vez, os espaços de democratização têm funcionado como elemento de mediação política, emergindo novas formas de gestão e governança urbana, centradas em parcerias público/privadas, fragilizando os mecanismos e espaços de planejamento democrático. A crise atual expressa dois movimentos antagônicos e contraditórios: i) a mundialização e globalização neoliberal, explicativa das transformações econômicas, sociais, culturais e políticas por que passam os Estados nacionais e as sociedades mundiais; ii) um movimento “contra a globalização”, que extrapola as fronteiras nacionais, percebido na presença de inúmeras redes e parcerias entre movimentos sociais, expressando-se em lutas e novas formas de organizações locais e nacionais. Considerando esses dois cenários, o artigo busca refletir sobre a utopia urbana de um futuro democrático e sustentável para as cidades, fundada em uma cidadania participativa ativa, socialmente solidária
