The spatiality of encounters
How do urban activists and the state organise their encounters under constrained conditions for dissent? What spatialities do these encounters involve, and how do they mediate power relations? This paper examines these questions, focusing on eight instances of contestation in Tehran's middle‐class neighbourhoods, centred on resistance to top‐down urban planning and governance. Drawing on Deleuzian thought, particularly his interpretation of Spino…
Differentiated citizenship and urban activism
Capturing planning
This paper contributes to the literature on the relationships between the state and other actors around the politics of the extraction of value from urban developments by focusing on one planning institution in the Tehran metropolitan area, the Tehran Point 5 Committee (TPC). Drawing from studies on state capture, the paper shows how this planning institution, initially established to make spatial plans flexible and implementable through delibera…
Who is Entitled to Oppose Planning Decisions? Politics of Rightful Resistance in Tehran
People's oppositions to planning decisions are on the rise even in exclusionary‐repressive systems. However, in such contexts, decades of dismantling social networks, repressing the circulation of information, and criminalising dissent make oppositions short‐lived, fragile, and risky. Rightful resistance, studies suggest, presents a modality of contestation which mitigates such risks. This paper seeks to contribute to the literature on this modal…
The everyday experiences of too little, too much water
Decisions of Landlords about Their Renters and Rental Units after Disasters
Postdisaster recovery in the rental housing submarket has attracted scant attention in both policy and scholarly circles. In particular, little is known about landlords’ decisions on whether to keep their previous renters, change their rental fees, and invest in rebuilding or repair of their rental units in lower-income cities. The literature presents a monolithic understanding of landlords’ decisions, grounding them solely within economic choice…
Navigating transition
Assembling street vending
Current scholarship on street vending in cities of the global south have mainly focused on street vendors and their politics of resistance against the state’s revanchist and exclusionary policies. This article draws from, and seeks to contribute to, this literature by considering the strategies of, and the shifting associations between, a broader range of agents – in addition to street vendors themselves – and the ways they shape and reshape stre…
Negotiating the order
The literature on street vending has been engaged with ‘ordinary spaces of negotiation’ as a heterogeneous, contradictory and performative realm of contestation over public space between street vendors and state bureaucracy. This article adopts Rancière’s conceptualisation of politics and police for examining this realm, bringing actors in addition to, and other than, city authorities and street vendors into the investigation. Drawing on a study …
Theorizing distributive justice and the practice of post-disaster housing recovery
This paper examines the implications of contemporary conceptions of distributive justice for post-disaster recovery programmes. The question asked in this paper is essentially theoretical: what does a concern with distributive justice entail when developing and evaluating post-disaster recovery programmes? Housing recovery programmes are employed to provide a contextual grounding for the discussion. We present a review of the disaster recovery li…
Competence-based system development for post-disaster project management
Purpose – One of the key elements contributing to successful post-disaster project teams is individual competence. Each project participant brings his or her own knowledge, experience and ideas to the collective. The kind of chaotic and fragmented environment that is common in post-disaster scenarios presents specific barriers to the success of projects, which can be mitigated by ensuring that staff members possess competencies appropriate for th…
Housing assistance distribution after disasters
This paper examines how and if the post-disaster distribution of housing assistance in two cities of Bam, in Iran, and Bhuj, in India, fulfilled the broad aim of enabling the stricken population to achieve housing recovery. Drawing on interviews with stricken households and officials as well as document review, the paper provides an account of the housing assistance distribution policies in these cities as they were formed, evolved, interpreted, …
Best practice post-disaster housing and livelihood recovery interventions
A review of the recent post-disaster recovery interventions in developing countries shows convergent trends in policies and practices. The World Bank has been in a position to exert its influence on post-disaster housing and livelihood recovery interventions, which has resulted in converging policies and practices. This paper focuses on the nexus between housing and livelihood recovery after disasters, highlighting the importance of rethinking th…
