Cities bound, bounded, boundless
In this paper, I reflect on cities as metabolically entangled with the planet in the context of planetary boundaries. Reviewing a multi-disciplinary literature (urban metabolism, planetary urbanisation, Earth system boundaries), I conceptualise cities as simultaneously ‘bound’, ‘bounded’ and ‘boundless’ vis-à-vis the planet. Inspired by Tim Ingold’s notions of entanglement and ‘bindings against boundaries’, I offer metabolic entanglements as an e…
The nature of contamination
This paper explores a paradox at the heart of contemporary urban ecologies: contamination, long framed as the antithesis of nature, has become - under certain conditions - a protective condition for specific ecologies. In former military-industrial sites at the core of the Tel Aviv metropolitan region in central Israel, high levels of toxicity have stalled development and, in doing so, allowed ecosystems to persist and regenerate, including the r…

The Multiple Enactments of Contamination
The remediation and redevelopment of industrially contaminated land are complex challenges for urban regions worldwide. Yet the literature on urban brownfields mostly addresses this as a technical problem through dichotomic and anthropocentric terms, contrasting the passive and negative role of the contamination as a toxic entity in the ground with the active and positive roles assigned to human actors such as planners, developers and communities…
Affective politics of air pollution
In this article, we present a novel approach to studying how air pollution (AP) shapes environmental activism in urban-metropolitan contexts, drawing on geographies of affect. We focus on how people engage with AP affectively, through bodily, sensory, and emotional experiences, and highlight its powerful yet differential affective capacities to prompt activism. Through qualitative analysis of social media and interviews, we present two ‘scenes’ o…
Green, gray, glocal
This article addresses theoretical and policy challenges for governing urban resilience in fragmented metropolitan regions. By analyzing practical approaches manifested in plans and infrastructure projects in the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Region, we develop an innovative typology of urban resilience governance attuned to metropolitan scale and complexity. Based on analysis of policy documents and interviews with stakeholders in three case studies – T…
People as environment
This article, at the intersection of urban anthropology and local environmental studies, offers a new and original perspective on the question of why low-income, marginalised urban communities might disregard local environmental concerns. Inspired by AbdouMaliq Simone’s [(2004). “People as Infrastructure: Intersecting Fragments in Johannesburg.” Public Culture 16 (3): 407–429.] seminal work on “people as infrastructure”, it proposes a new theoret…
Urban visions and divisions in the global south
This article analyses the conceptual work of urban strategic visions in two global South cities, Mumbai and Cape Town, in the context of urban inequality and informality. Theoretically, it develops two related conceptual tools: (1) Principles of vision and division: following Pierre Bourdieu's ideas on the predominant symbolic classifications by which we observe and organise our social world, these are classificatory schemes and categories (e.g.,…
Affordable Housing Plans in London and New York
The article reviews and critically analyzes contemporary housing policies and plans in London and New York in the context of neoliberal urban governance. In both cities, we find severe housing affordability problems, an increasing dependence on market provision of affordable housing, and a gradual shift from supporting low- and moderate-income residents to promoting housing for households around and above the median income. Affordable housing pla…
Planning as a Principle of Vision and Division
This paper draws on Pierre Bourdieu's notion of 'principles of vision and division' to conceptualize the role of urban planning in processes of sociospatial differentiation and distinction. Planning, through its classification schemes and specific methodologies (such as zoning), mediates the long-term processes by which the divisions and hierarchies of social space are inscribed and reproduced in urban space. The paper develops this conceptual fr…
Relating a City's History and Geography with Bourdieu
This article advances a conceptualization of spatial distinction that, followingBourdieu, relates principles of division in 'social space' with formations of segregation in urban space. It applies this interpretive framework to concisely narrate the one hundred years' history of spatial distinction inTelAviv. Analyzing five moments in the city's development, it focuses on a dominant principle of distinction in each period and its ensuing segregat…
Culture Capital for All’? Cultural Diversity Policy in Tel Aviv and its Limits
This article critically analyses cultural diversity policy in Tel Aviv–Jaffa in relation to non-Jewish labour migrant communities and to Palestinian citizens of Israel residing in Jaffa. It focuses on recent incorporation of cultural diversity into city policy in its 'City Vision' and 'Global City' initiatives and in three specific areas (festivities, libraries and museum of city history). The article argues that despite the introduction and init…
Activising Space
In summer 2011, Israel was swept by unprecedented political protest as multiple encampments occupied streets and mass rallies were held weekly in Tel Aviv and other cities. The article focuses on the spatial politics of this protest, analysing the particular strategies it used to activise urban public space. The protest initially reflected a specific urban context and limited agenda—namely, the lack of affordable housing in Tel Aviv. However, as …
