Art Organisers as Commoners
As part of a remarkable wave of perennial contemporary art events in Thailand, the Bangkok Biennial was organised for the first time in 2018. Without central curation or funding, the organisational strategy of this artist‐led, open‐access event was strikingly different from the state‐organised Thailand Biennale and the corporate Bangkok Art Biennale that were inaugurated several months later. Through the eyes of the literature on “commoning” as a…
The outcomes of residential squatting activism in the context of municipalism and capitalism in Madrid and Barcelona (2015–2019)
This paper discusses the impact of the Spanish housing movement on policies regarding residential squatting of municipalist coalitions in Madrid and Barcelona. Combining literatures on social movement outcomes, new municipalism, and the importance of capitalism for social movement studies, we address the following research questions: How has the Spanish housing movement framed its claims regarding residential squatting? How have these claims impa…
Urban movements and municipalist governments in Spain
In 2011 the 15 M movement occupied squares across Spain demanding true democracy. Four years later, bottom-up municipalist initiatives won the 2015 local elections in seven medium-size and large cities. In coalition with traditional parties, these initiatives formed new left-wing governments that incorporated former activists as mayors and councilors. This history has sparked debates about the consequences of co-optation, institutional alliances,…
Mega-events and regional identities
This article argues that mega-events can become important sites for the contestation of a variety of justice claims, including recognition for regional identities. The existing literature explores the potential of mega-events to achieve redistribution but their impact on identity claims is under-researched. Our analysis of the Cantonese language controversy in the run-up to the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games fills this gap by employing a discourse-hi…
Participation and marginality on the geoweb
Enabling, structuring and creating elite transnational lifestyles
This article considers how the migration industries lens can be usefully employed in understanding how professional intermediaries enable, structure, and create transnational migration lifestyles of the super-rich. In particular, we examine how intermediaries and their services (1) enable the continued sustenance of transnational migration lifestyles for this group of elites; and (2) structure and create elite transnational lifestyles. This artic…
Our Digital Rights to the City
‘Our Digital Rights to the City’ is a small collection of articles about digital technology, data and the city. It covers a range of topics relating to the political and economic power of technologies that are now almost inescapable within the urban environment. This includes discussions surrounding security, mapping, real estate, smartphone applications and the broader idea of a ‘right to the city’ in a post-digital world. The collection is edit…
Welcome to the club! An exploratory study of service accessibility in commodity housing estates in Guangzhou, China
In post-reform China, gated commodity housing estates play a crucial role in the provision of urban services. Such collective service provision is criticized in the urban studies literature, because 'club goods' are thought to exclude people that do not live in gated communities. This paper reflects on the global relevance of that argument with an exploratory study in Guangzhou, China. We argue that access to collective services is structured in …
Whose city now? Urban managerialism reconsidered (again)
This introductory essay reflects on the continuing relevance of Ray Pahl's Whose City? It reassesses the original urban managerialist perspective, developed in the Europe of the late 1960s and early 1970s. When large-scale public institutions dominated access to scarce urban resources, Pahl argued that urban managers played a crucial role in the shaping of life chances. But with the emergence of Marxist perspectives on the city under capitalism, …

Elderly co-residence and the household responsibilities hypothesis
In this paper, we analyze the effects of co-residence with elderly parents on gender differences in travel. The Household Responsibility Hypothesis (HRH) explains differences in the role of women regarding household responsibilities. However, research so far has studied “Western” household types while excluding households with co-residing elderly parents. Furthermore, research has paid exclusive attention to gender differences in commuting trips,…
Between places and flows
This article discusses the role of the neighbourhood in an era of increased mobility. It explores the consequences of the “new mobilities paradigm”, which argues that the growing importance of flows – of people, goods and information – results in a deterritorialization of social practices. Rows thus gain prominence in comparison to places like regions and neighbourhoods. At the same time, however, neighbourhoods continue to play a role in the act…
Understanding Mode Choice in the C hinese Context
In post‐reform C hina, rapid motorisation causes various problems like traffic congestion, diminishing road safety and air pollution. Adequate policies necessitate an understanding of the forces behind changing mode choices, but the rapidly developing literature is not complete yet. This paper aims to help fill that gap with an analysis of mode choice for commuting and shopping‐leisure trips in N anjing. Using the N anjing R esidents T ravel S ur…
The impacts of household structure on the travel behaviour of seniors and young parents in China
Travel Time and Distance in International Perspective
While Western countries are trying to reduce car dependency on the back of low carbon objectives, the ownership and use of private cars in urban China is increasing dramatically. In this paper, light is shed on both developments through a comparative study of the travel behaviour in two regions with a very different built environment: Nanjing, China, and the Randstad in the Netherlands. Controlled for car ownership, daily travel time and distance…
Enclave urbanism in Mumbai
Neighborhoods, Social Networks, and Trust in Post-Reform China
Urban scholars in the West pay considerable attention to the neighborhood as a locus for social networks. Such an emphasis would be appropriate in China as well. Here work-units were the urban building blocks until the late 1970s, and social networks mainly developed within their boundaries. But economic reforms have generated a new urban structure, eroding the centrality of the work-unit as a site of social organization. There has been little em…

Enclave Urbanism In China
Following reforms enacted since the late 1970s, domestic and foreign investments \nare resulting in a dramatic transformation of China’s landscape. The concentrated Maoist city with \nits cellular multifunctional work-unit structure is disappearing. In its place, cities now emerge as \npatchworks of mono-functional and mono-cultural enclaves, often demarcated by walls and gates. \nBased on experiences elsewhere, urban theorists criticize such seg…
Social Networks in ‘Neighbourhood Tokyo’
The loss of community worries academics and politicians the world over, and Japan is no exception. Over recent decades, in response to an outcry over diminishing social cohesion, Japan has seen a wave of neighbourhood projects, aiming to restore local social networks. At the same time, some argue that here urban neighbourhoods still function as organisers of social life. These contrasting views make Japanese cities interesting case studies. Unfor…
