In the 19th century, the growth of large and dense cities was fueled by the expansion of railroad networks that brought raw materials and intermediate goods to factories and shipped final products
Hidden Empire of Finance
Since the emergence of capitalism, speculation has been vital to the development of cities. In the US, land speculation by railroads in the mid-eighteenth century spurred the population of the Grea

The Entanglements of Uncertainty
This article revisits the theme of uncertainty in planning thought. I argue that to manage the punitive consequences of uncertainty we have to acknowledge it as a socio-material condition. Uncertainty is neither a psychological state, nor a cognitive deficiency, nor a quality of external reality. Rather, it becomes manifest when we act in and engage with the world. To this extent, and to navigate uncertainty, planners have to develop strong colla…
Brian Tochterman. The Dying City
Consider the claim that the way cities are portrayed influences how they are experienced and managed. Assumed is that all action is simultaneously social, or involving our relations to others, and discursive, or mediated by the conversations, television shows, newspapers, and social media relentlessly present in our daily lives. The extent to which cities are deemed to be attractive, prosperous, safe, innovative, and worthy of investment is insep…

Shrinking Cities
We Blame the Building! The Architecture of Distributed Responsibility
This article makes use of actor-network theory to reflect on how responsibility is distributed when efforts are made to change the built environment. More specifically, it is concerned with the way in which humans delegate responsibility to non-human things and how these non-human things then function as actors within heterogeneous settings. The overall intent is to erase the divide between culture and nature, human subjectivity and vibrant matte…
Emerging Johannesburg
When Meadowlands, a township in Greater Soweto, was first estab-lished during the 1950s, the population was fairly homogeneous. As a result of the sustained economic upswing during the 1960s, a number, but not all, township residents experienced upward occupational mobility. Social differentiation increased even further over the 1980s and early 1990s. Some residents benefited from the drive toward encouraging homeownership, whereas many others si…
European and US perspectives on shrinking cities
In recent years, urban shrinkage has gained the attention of scholars and policy-makers both in the United States and in Europe. At the annual meeting of the Urban Affairs Association (UAA) in Pitt
City Bound
Cities and Suburbs
Time, Action, Space
Postmetropolis deepens Edward Soja's engagement with the sociospatial dialectic, one of his major contributions to urban theory. It also represents an uncharacteristic foray into history. The objectives of my contribution are to probe his treatment of time and to extend his sociospatial dialectic into the realm of actor-network theory, thereby further situating the materiality of the city at the theoretical center of social thought
Relations interorganisationnelles et création de valeur. Synthèse et perspectives
This study provides a better understanding of interfirm relationships (IRs) as a means of value creation. Based on a comprehensive cross-disciplinary literature review, a conceptual framework is put forth which integrates aspects of the business environment, as well as the nature, governance, and outcomes of IRs. The linkages between these four key elements indicate that value creation varies depending on firms? marketing orientations and the coh…
