New modes of privatized policing under austerity
Revanchism as American culture
An era of revanchist policing that vastly expanded law enforcement budgets and activities was just beginning when Smith first published on the topic. Today, budgets continue to increase, but policing has met with a crisis of legitimacy that has brought on a lack of staffing to support an expanding revanchist policing apparatus. In this essay, I describe how these conditions have proved to be a friendly environment for the development of a police …
The expansion of a police surveillance technology market within a crisis of legitimacy
The expansion of police surveillance technologies has been at the center of important debates around urban governance as technologies become increasingly embedded in infrastructure, city budgets, and clear concerns around civil liberties. After decades of consistently increasing police budgets, an expanded scope of policing under neoliberalism, and the development of the contemporary surveillant assemblage, we lack an understanding of the politic…
Detroit ’s Fights for Community Benefits
Community benefits agreements (CBAs) have emerged from the accountable development movement as a widespread, most often community‐initiated practice for extracting benefits from development projects at the cost of developers. Scholarship chronicling the strategies for negotiating benefits has largely concluded that a strong real estate market is needed for local communities to secure the necessary leverage to win benefits. However, there are case…

Community benefits agreements and growth coalitions
Growth machine theory, inaugurated by Harvey Molotch in 1976, continues to be a major way to understand the dynamics of urban growth in the U.S. and beyond. Growth machine theory, with all of its recent provocative changes, nevertheless still fails to capture the subtleties and complexities of organizing for accountable development based on growth dynamics in cities. In our essay, community benefits agreements are examined as one of the leading e…
Coastal resident perceptions of nature‐based adaptation options in Nova Scotia
Climate change risks to coastal communities may overwhelm current management strategies. The emergence of nature‐based solutions could provide alternative approaches for climate adaptation; however, studies on their public acceptability are limited. This research focuses on the human dimensions of nature‐based coastal adaptation solutions. The research sought to understand the kind of environmental changes participants were experiencing in their …
British Columbia’s Community Benefits Agreement
British Columbia’s Community Benefits Agreement that aims to provide jobs in the construction trades for underrepresented groups serves as a case to explore the successes and barriers to distributing the benefits of urban development to Indigenous groups towards the goal of economic justice. Through a content analysis of stakeholder interviews and documents about the agreement, we found that, while there is optimism that the CBA may help advance …
Missing Older Adults in a Gentrifying Downtown
Very little research has focused on how age factors into gentrification processes and how place branding helps drive gentrification. Scholarship on gentrification has engaged with the ways that race and class intersect to marginalize long‐time residents politically and economically in the context of gentrification, but rarely analyzes the important role that age plays in exclusion, or how it is represented materially in the branding of changing n…
The Redevelopment of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children
The field of urban planning and its scholarship, while acknowledging harmful development practices for marginalized groups, has not directly engaged in alternative, trauma-informed planning processes at the municipal level. Social work and law have a scholarly tradition of acknowledging trauma and providing frameworks for carrying out trauma-informed practice; planning scholars have proposed models like therapeutic planning, but lack an understan…
Democratizing design
The scholarship on participatory design has indicated continued struggles to develop processes that genuinely include citizen feedback in an inclusive manner. This paper explores whether Detroit’s Community Benefits Ordinance, that has allowed for residents to negotiate community benefits like parks, public spaces and streetscape improvements is a possible avenue for improved participatory design. This research shows that the Ordinance allowed fo…
Advocating for the Preservation of Senior Housing
As cities become increasingly gentrified, the experiences of their oldest and longest residents often go underrecognized in favor of class-based and racialized concerns about displacement. Underrepresented in both scholarship and organizing efforts, eviction and displacement pose unique threats to seniors because of the link between their health and housing needs. To uncover possible strategies for coalition building and senior housing policy adv…
Early Lessons From Detroit’s Community Benefits Ordinance
Problem, research strategy, and findings In 2016, Detroiters (MI) voted to pass the first-ever community benefits ordinance (CBO), a law that requires developers to negotiate with a council of local residents to agree on a set of community benefits. Drawing from the goals and the structure of community benefits agreements that have become popular since the 1990s, this ordinance has won Detroit communities benefits like locally sourced jobs, affor…
Detroit’s community benefits ordinance
In 2016, Detroiters passed a community benefits ordinance with the main goal of having their voices heard in the process of development negotiating a set of benefits that will be delivered at the cost of the developer. To evaluate how effectively this new approach has incorporated the voices of Detroiters into developments, we conducted a qualitative analysis of interviews with residents, developers and planners, and policy documents. We propose …
Writing Lives in the Eighteenth Century
Writing Lives in the Eighteenth Century is a collection of essays on memoir, biography, and autobiography during a formative period for the genre. The essays revolve around recognized male and female figures—returning to the Boswell and Burney circle—but present arguments that dismantle traditional privileging of biographical modes. The contributors reconsider the processes of hero making in the beginning phases of a culture of celebrity. Employi…
The Shrinking City as a Growth Machine
Despite Detroit's reputation for social and financial crisis, developers and investors have successfully pursued growth and land-use intensification in recent years. However, in Molotch's initial conception of the growth machine, environments of extreme decline go under analyzed. While scholars have investigated the role of growth in Detroit, they have narrowly focused on a single document: the Detroit Future City framework. This work looks more …

Excluded by design
Over the last half century, Detroit has been defined by economic collapse and worsening social stratification. Street vending, murals, and urban agriculture have served as means for disenfranchised communities to resist exclusion from and discrimination by the formal systems that provide services and amenities to their wealthier counterparts. In recent years, “tactical urbanism” has been promoted by urban designers appropriating informal practice…

Communities that experience severe disinvestment represent unique political spheres in their mobilization against loss of amenities and simultaneous place attachment to such geographies. 48217, a predominantly Black neighborhood of Southwest Detroit (that is called by its ZIP code), is in close proximity to noxious industries like Marathon Petroleum and steel production. In this article, discourse analysis of interviews with residents was done, c…
The road home
Hurricane Katrina claimed the lives of nearly 1000 Louisiana residents and damaged about 80% of the building stock in New Orleans. Unequal protection from the hurricane and uneven recovery patterns have left some communities (predominantly low-income and black) with few options to rebuild their homes. These factors have created a high demand for housing non-profits specializing in new construction as well as low-cost home repairs. Drawing from in…
Why Should Hester Lynch Piozzi Be “Dr Johnson’s Mrs Thrale?”
Our subject lived for 20 years as Hester Lynch Salusbury, and more than 40 years as the wife, then widow, of Gabriel Piozzi. Her bestselling literary works appeared under the name Hester Lynch Piozzi and yet she is recognized for her 20 years as Mrs Thrale: friend, confidante, amanuensis, and muse of Samuel Johnson. Upon her second marriage, “Piozzi” became a hostile signifier for a woman who defied her family and social opinion to choose a new h…
