Communities making social change from below. Social innovation and democratic leadership in two disenfranchised neighbourhoods in Barcelona
Drawing upon 4 initiatives of social innovation embedded in two disenfranchised neighbourhoods: Nou Barris Nord and Sants in Barcelona (Spain), we illustrate different ways in which bottom-up processes can contribute to neighbourhood resilience. The paper explores the nature of social change by bringing together systemic approaches to social innovation and relational theories of collective leadership. In this vein, it is argued that both contextu…
Socially innovative housing activism
Drawing upon a comparison between four socially innovative housing activism initiatives, this paper makes new theoretical propositions on the nature of social change by bringing together a contextual approach on housing activism and an agency analysis of collective leadership practices. On one hand, this paper analyses how historical and geographical neighbourhood features constrain and enable housing activism. On the other hand, the paper unveil…
Facing the Great Recession in Deprived Urban Areas
Research suggests that some communities are more resilient than others in the face of the same external stress. Both the local effects of and local responses to the 2008 financial collapse and economic recession have been geographically variegated. Drawing upon two case studies in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona (Spain), this paper aims to understand why some historically deprived neighborhoods are proving more resilient than others in facin…

Challenging collaborative urban governance under austerity
During the decades preceding the 2008 global financial crisis, collaborative urban governance had become hegemonic in many European cities. However, the postcrash austerity era seems to have dampened enthusiasm for network governance. This article examines this proposition by analyzing the evolution of collaborative urban governance mechanisms in local housing policy from 2008 to 2014. In addition, new citizen-led movements are explored, demonstr…
Market‐Based Social Innovation
Geographies of governance
Neoliberal accounts of local governance have paid insufficient attention to variation in the forms of urban governance and urban policies across local regimes. On the basis of a comparison of eight deprived neighbourhoods in Catalonia (Spain) where the same regional programme of urban regeneration has been carried out, this paper explores the significance of place when it comes to understanding the adoption of different models of urban governance…
Evaluando la participación institucional
Los cambios experimentados recientemente en las sociedades contemporáneas están transformando las formas de participación de la ciudadanía en la esfera pública, poniendo en tela de juicio las iniciativas de participación institucional promovidas por diversas administraciones durante la última década. Resulta del todo necesario evaluar estas iniciativas si se quiere garantizar su funcionalidad en este nuevo escenario. En este contexto, el presente…
Atlantic Gardens in Mediterranean Climates
While the city of Barcelona is being held up worldwide as an example of a compact and sustainable urban settlement, its metropolitan region has been suburbanized with low-density housing that, among other impacts, threatens the water supply system of the area. In this process of urbanization new landscapes of consumption - greening the city with non-native natures - have been produced, requiring a higher use of water and other inputs. Starting wi…
Does Participation Really Matter in Urban Regeneration Policies? Exploring Governance Networks in Catalonia (Spain)
In this article we focus our attention on the progressively prominence of the citizen participation into the networks of governance oriented toward urban regeneration. We expound the main results of our recent research carried out in 10 deprived neighborhoods in Catalonia (Spain), going in depth into three central issues: (1) the weight of citizen participation in the governance networks, (2) the substantive effects of this participation, and (3)…
Changing Conceptions of Sustainability in Barcelona's Public Parks
In this article we explore the relationships between public parks and a broad interpretation of sustainability, taking as a case study the city of Barcelona, Spain. Recent official discourses in Barcelona insist on sustainability as one of the fundamental assets of public parks. Yet whether these urban artifacts actually contribute to sustainability objectives in environmental and social terms remains to be examined. We compare two public parks i…
Urbanization and Sustainable Resource Use
Urban sprawl is eroding the traditionally compact, diverse, and mixed Southern European cities. Besides the rise in land and energy consumption, the expansion of low density urban forms also affects water, a critical resource in the region. This study examines garden watering in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona in order to illustrate the importance of outdoor water use in the urbanization process, and, following the insights provided by urban…
Entre la deliberación y la negociación
This article discusses how the wicked problem of «the mountains» in Aragon, a historical and highly complex conflict, has been approached through deliberation. Our aim is to respond to a larger theoretical issue: the viability and functionality of deliberation as a tool to produce better public policies in a context of high political and social conflict. We conclude that, although it is possible to generate deliberative spaces of quality that pro…
