Care at the centre: Conceptualising the care and housing crises from an urban perspective
Care and housing are interrelated in daily practice, and profound crises have been observed in both areas. While policymakers and civil society pay significant attention to the housing crisis as a societal problem that must be collectively mitigated through diverse political measures, the care crisis still largely falls on households, families and institutions. To address the connections between these fields, this paper provides a theoretical fra…
Kritische Stadtforschung: Differenz und Ungleichheiten im Fokus
Was kennzeichnet den Gegenstand der Stadtforschung? Was grenzt sie ab von anderen Forschungsfeldern? Diese Fragen mit dem kurzen Hinweis „Stadtforschung ist, was Stadtforscher:innen machen“ abzutun, ist unzufriedenstellend, zum Beispiel wenn es darum gehen soll, Forschungsfragen zu diskutieren oder ein Einführungsbuch herauszugeben. In diesem Diskussionbeitrag werden zwei Antworten auf die Frage „Was ist Stadt?“ vorgestellt: Die erste ist konzept…
Pandemic consulting. How private consultants leverage public crisis management
This forum article discusses how the Covid19-pandemic as a major public crisis is transforming the relationship between governments and management consultants, contributing to the deepening presence of consulting firms in policy-making and governance. It shows how the crisis has entrenched private advice in public policymaking as governments are spending millions of dollars on transnational professional service firms like McKinsey, KPMG, Deloitte…

Die sozial-unternehmerische Stadt: Gesellschaftliche Ungleichheit, Reproduktionskrise und Stadtpolitik in Hamburg
Entrepreneurial and social urban policies contradictorily depend from each other: growth policies aiming to increase investment and population numbers produce a crisis of reproduction (i.e. housing or care); and social policies aiming to resolve this crisis allegedly require entrepreneurial policies as fuel for tax resources financing social goals. We investigate this interrelationship along the recent housing and childcare policies in the city o…
Celebrating 30 years of feminist geographies in the German-speaking countries Germany, Switzerland* and Austria
In this paper, we present the development of feminist geographies in the three German-speaking countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Since the emergence of feminist approaches in German-speaking geography in the 1980s, feminist geographers situated in these countries have worked closely together within the context of the Working Group “Geography and Gender”. The overview highlights cornerstones of the development of feminist geographies in …
Fast Activism: Resisting Mobile Policies
“Fast” urban policy is increasingly common as city leaders draw on globally mobile policy models to accelerate the policymaking process. Critics have responded with new types of “fast activism” strategies. Fast activists plan temporary and strategically timed campaigns, use relationally local messaging that jumps between global and local political critiques, and organise ideologically diverse coalitions to mobilise quickly against policy proposal…
Global expertise, local convincing power: Management consultants and preserving the entrepreneurial city
The advice of management consultancies on urban policy is particularly influential in moments of crisis involving entrepreneurial principles. As global experts, management consultants appear as appropriate assistants for steering growth-oriented, competitive urban development. In order to show how consultants turn the urban into an entrepreneurial project to be managed, I discuss the literature on urban policy and consultants then examine the act…
Consulting as a threat to local democracy? Flexible management consultants, pacified citizens, and political tactics of strategic development in German cities
These days, it is often claimed that democratic procedures are under threat. The detachment of policy decisions from political debates is partly a result of the increasing influence of non-elected organizations and experts. Following a conceptual discussion of the spatiality of democracy, this paper focuses on management consultants as constraint on collective political participation in urban development; namely on McKinsey and Roland Berger. (De…
The creeping influence of consultants on cities: McKinsey’s involvement in Berlin’s urban economic and social policies
Consulting completed: Temporal aspects of expertise in urban development during times of fast policies
Consultants, especially management consultants with their expertise in markets and entrepreneurial thinking, have gained a new role in urban policy. Urban politicians, facing ever-increasing international competition as well as diverse urban crises, search for immediate solutions, at times drawing on professional advice. This paper introduces the role of management consultants in urban policy in the context of fast policies. These new policies ar…
Fragile growth coalitions or powerful contestations? Cancelled Olympic bids in Boston and Hamburg
Hosting sports "mega-events" like the Olympics is a common scenario among urban growth coalitions worldwide. They are promoted as temporary "catalysts" for local economic growth linked to exceptional decisions in land provision and public spending. But this model of growth politics is increasingly contested: recent Olympic bids have failed in a number of cities as urban social movements organize against them while growth coalitions are unable or …
Breaking With Neoliberalization by Restricting The Housing Market: Novel Urban Policies and the Case of Hamburg
Hamburg currently exemplifies the departure from a straightforward neoliberal urban track. The city's neoliberal path only moved into full swing in the first decade of the 2000s. During this period, urban development was primarily subject to property market mechanisms-with projects being granted to the highest bidder-prompting effects such as rapidly rising rents, deepened social segregation and increased property-led displacement. Since 2009, ho…
Stadt der Quartiere? Das Place-Konzept und die Idee von urbanen Dörfern
Quartier und Place – zwei zentrale Begriffe der (sozial)wissenschaftlichen Stadtforschung: Der eine als mögliche Betrachtungsebene urbaner Prozesse und der andere als Konzept für komplexe räumliche Beziehungen. Beide Konzepte wurden vielfach in der Raum- und Stadtforschung rezipiert, so dass sich fruchtbare Schnittstellen vermuten lassen. Ich sehe diese in erster Linie im Transfer theoretischer und methodologischer Kernpunkte des Place-Konzeptes …
Urbanes Alltagsleben
An Flexibilisierungstendenzen im Alltag zeigt sich derzeit das stadtpolitische Paradox, Differenzen als urbane Qualitäten anzuführen und tatsächlich Homogenisierungen zu erzeugen: Zeiten des Alltags sind immer weniger standardisiert und die Orte alltäglicher Tätigkeiten scheinen häufiger individuell bestimmbar. In städtischen Quartieren ist Flexibilisierung eine zentrale Ursache für Konflikte, die sich insbesondere mit dem stadtpolitischen Ziel v…

Disenclosed time regimes and spatial concentrations of economies. The creative sector in Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel from a time-geographical perspective. In recent years the spatial and temporal organization of everyday life has been transformed by the flexibilisation of economic relations and a growing variety of the ways how individuals coordinate their professional and private spheres and activities. Central elements of this transformation are …
