Urban crisis
A decade ago, I published an article that explored the evolution and uses and abuses of the “urban crisis,” offering a genealogy of the concept. Since that time, the apparent crises besetting cities, and indeed the globe, have apparently proliferated. Indeed, if scholars such as Adam Tooze are correct, we are currently living through a “polycrisis,” a term that has entered the academic and popular discourse to capture the sense that we are bedevi…

Charting Change in the City
Cities matter. They are often the sites in which the helping hand and the clenched fist of the state makes first contact with the citizen. They are engines of national economic growth and, often, the source of political movements that become national and transnational in scope. Yet, the theoretical tools available to study change at the urban level are limited. This article seeks to address this shortcoming by offering a new account of urban poli…
Market Privilege
Since the 1970s, the neoliberal worldview has become reflected increasingly in the policy ideas and institutional innovations advanced by both major parties in the United States. This is most obvious in the realm of economic and social policy, but especially evident at the subnational level, particularly in the city. I argue that neoliberalism, as an ideology, a set of policy prescriptions, and institutional designs, is conceptually distinct from…
Resisting Redevelopment
The New Enclosures
In recent years, social movements have taken to the streets to protest various forms of economic and racial injustice. However, these attempts to exploit the political opportunities public spaces afford have been compromised by the increasingly private nature of “public” spaces. What has changed is the rise of privately owned public spaces (POPS), areas that appear to be public, but in fact are owned by corporations that prohibit a range of activ…
By Design or by Default
With the onset of the Great Recession, it looked for a moment that neoliberalism had become vulnerable to challenges from the urban level. Yet, it appears that the neoliberal ideas, institutions, and policy frameworks continue to dominate urban governance. As such, there remains a need to develop interpretive frames through which to examine the construction and reproduction of urban neoliberalism. This article seeks to provide a historically grou…
A City of Citizens
Social justice in the city has re-emerged as a critical issue in recent years. Especially important has been Clarissa Rile Hayward and Todd Swanstrom’s 2011 edited volume, Justice and the American Metropolis, which contains essays by a series of leading urbanists, writing mainly from a liberal perspective. While the renewed interest in social justice in the city is welcome, the analysis provided by many scholars working within the liberal traditi…
Urban crisis
The term ‘urban crisis’ emerged in the USA in the 1950s. Ever since the term came into popular use, it has been mobilised to advance a range of political and economic interests. Utilising a genealogical approach, this article traces the evolution, uses and abuses of the concept. It suggests that the various meanings attached to the term are rooted in two overarching frameworks. While one finds the origins of urban crisis in structural, primarily …
Restoring the Political
This article focuses on the key contributions made by Adolph Reed Jr., focusing on his efforts to “restore the political” to analysis of urban politics and race. Reed’s position resists the lamentable tendency to “naturalize” political phenomena through abstractions such as the rational, utility-maximizing individual; the unitary city interest; and notion of a corporate black interest. In particular, Reed brings into sharp relief the deficiencies…
