Abstract:

This thesis engages with debates around cultural work and culture-led regeneration by exploring the working conditions encountered and experienced by visual artists who have located in Margate and Folkestone, two towns in Kent (South East England) which have pursued culture-led regeneration. It draws on, and contributes, to critical debates on cultural labour and the conditions of cultural work as well as long-standing debates around culture and creativity as drivers of urban regeneration. It establishes the ways in which artists’ labour is integral to culture-led urban policies, and further c

<p> The rapid process of urbanization currently swelling the poor urban neighborhoods of developing countries is changing local and national political landscapes. As the population of urban poor continues to grow—it is expected that by 2030 half of the total urban population will be poor—so are poor peoples' demands for access to public services, as well as the type and intensity of their engagements with political actors. The dissertation focuses on the different types of interactions between the urban poor and politicians and specifically tackles the following questions: What exp

Abstract:

Within the social sciences, the extensive literature on homosexuality as a socio-cultural construct and on ‘queer’ identities and experiences generally focuses on Western European or Anglo-American societies. Sexuality and homosexuality remain relatively unexplored fields of enquiry within Russian studies, even if it is usually acknowledged that the complex transformations undergone by Russian society since the fall of the communist system have deeply affected sexual practices and attitudes to sex and sexuality. This thesis addresses a gap in the literature by exploring how ‘lesbian’ identitie

Abstract:

Urban high school students in the United States are often involved in conflicts related to bullying, physical fighting, and drug abuse. These conflicts create a hostile learning environment; interventions such as conflict resolution programs are implemented to reduce these disruptions to learning. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how an urban high school conflict resolution program impacts trained peer mediators. The conceptual framework was based on Erikson's psychosocial theory of human development and Freire's critical theory about pedagogy of the oppressed. Partici

Abstract:

One year before my academic life began, Jim Kemeny published a book called ‘Housing and Social Theory’ (Kemeny 1992). This book has had a major impact within European housing and urban research over the last two and a half decades, not least by crystalizing its epistemic divisions into ‘mainstream’ and ‘critical’ (Webb 2012). In the face of Kemeny’s critique, ‘mainstream’ housing and urban researchers have remained wedded to ‘policy oriented’ empiricist approaches about which they have been defensive. In fact, it could even be argued that policy oriented housing researchers have been emboldene

This dissertation addresses critically the role that land tenure plays in housing the poor in rapidly urbanising medium–sized cities in the Global South and in particular, Aguascalientes, Mexico, a city with one of the highest growth rates in the country. Urban sprawl, industrial development, and the increasing impoverished population in these sorts of cities are key variables that demand the attention of scholars and policy makers who have traditionally focused on the largest Mexican cities, i.e., Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara.

Abstract:

When we talk about the Civil War, we often describe it in terms of battles that took place in small towns or in the countryside: Antietam, Gettysburg, Bull Run, and, most tellingly, the Battle of the Wilderness. One reason this picture has persisted is that few urban historians have studied the war, even though cities hosted, enabled, and shaped Southern society as much as they did in the North. Confederate Cities, edited by Andrew L. Slap and Frank Towers, shifts the focus from the agrarian economy that undergirded the South to the cities that served as its political and administrative hubs.

This thesis explores the relationship between urban restructuring and working-class communities in the context of post-industrial neoliberalism.

In this thesis, I attempt to, first, confront these assertions by reasserting the relationship between urban restructuring working-class communities and, seco

Abstract:

The modern global agrifood system has had significant negative impacts on consumers and producers. This has precipitated the rise of local food systems that are purported to improve the health and livelihoods of consumers and producers. High expectations have led to significant public and private resources dedicated to the development of local food systems. Despite this, there has been little systematic research exploring the social and institutional conditions that facilitate or frustrate local food system development. Using a comparative case study approach, this study explored the ways loca

Abstract:

La vie en ville requiert l'usage et la fabrication d'un vaste ensemble d'objets. Ce travail a pour ambition de contribuer à la production de connaissances sur le statut et sur le rôle de ces objets fabriqués dans l'activité sociale urbaine. Ces objets nécessaires à la vie en ville constituent ce qui sera ici appelé dispositifs techniques et spatiaux de l'urbain. Ce domaine d'objets relève des activités d'aménagement urbain, d'urbanisme, d'architecture et de génie civil. Il comprend aussi bien les immeubles de logements ou de bureaux, les monuments et les fontaines, les "équipements"..., les ru

Abstract:

The history of transportation planning in New York City has created disparities between those who have sufficient access to the public transportation network, and those who face structural barriers to traveling from their home to education, employment, and healthcare opportunities. This thesis analyzes the legacy of discriminatory policy surrounding the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and city and state governments that have failed to support vital infrastructure improvement projects and service changes to provide multi-modal welfare to New York’s working poor. By exploring issues

Abstract:

Evaluée dans son intensité démocratique (information – consultation – négociation), la concertation est critiquée pour son ambiguïté. Les autorités en regrettent les effets de blocages, les usagers-citoyens la taxent d'alibi. L'enjeu d'une analyse de la concertation dans l'élaboration des Plans de déplacements urbains était d'abandonner cette posture de dénonciation en cherchant à savoir non à qui profite cette concertation mais ce qu'elle produit.<br />Premier résultat, c'est lorsque la participation s'effectue en amont qu'elle s'avère productive, qu'elle modifie la donne.

Abstract:

La finalité de la thèse est de tenter de répondre à la question de savoir comment les spécificités des parcours de vie des jeunes des quartiers populaires, si elles existent, sont prises en compte dans les politiques publiques, et plus particulièrement dans les politiques de jeunesse à l'échelle locale, notamment celles impulsées par les municipalités. A partir de quels référentiels et de quelles représentations de la jeunesse se construisent ces politiques ? Et, in fine, qu'est-ce qui fait que les jeunes tantôt vont adhérer et tantôt vont résister à la " formalisation " des politiques de jeun

Abstract:

Dans une perspective commerciale et en se basant sur la théorie de la communication de SHANNON et WEAWER, sur le modèle de Yale de JANIS et HOVLAND et sur divers travaux de PIAGET, nous avons dégagé deux grands facteurs concourant à la formation de l'image du transport collectif urbain : - la satisfaction des attentes liées aux déplacements, ces attentes se définissant généralement lors des premières utilisations régulières des modes, - les chocs émotionnels consécutifs à des événements considérés comme surprenants ou inhabituels et concernant la sphère Transport.

Abstract:

Cette thèse examine le débat actuel en Californie du Sud autour de la planification de l'eau et du foncier, dans le cadre de projets immobiliers de grande taille. Ces projets immobiliers sont présentés, par les promoteurs immobiliers ainsi que les autorités locales comme plus « durables » que l'urbanisme traditionnel de la région. Ces affirmations sont contestées par de nombreux opposants, pour qui l'immobilier actuel est semblable aux pratiques habituelles de la région, notamment par sa surconsommation d'eau et d'autres atteintes à l'environnement. Ces controverses interviennent alors que les
