Cities in the International Marketplace
Fragmented Regionalism
This article addresses the extent to which metropolitan regions have continued to fragment and grown more disparate. We ask, why have comprehensive institutions not taken root to mitigate metropolitan fragmentation and how can we better understand its persistence? We call attention to the insufficiently understood and integrative role of public authorities as functional for fragmented metropolises and their continued splintering. That functionali…
Response to Lidstrom, Lewis, and Barnes on Fragmented Regionalism
Critics often take their subjects on worthy journeys. Lidstrom has done this through a comparative approach. He draws parallels between American public authorities and European “inter-municipal cooperation”. While comparisons can be useful the parallels have limitations, and we point out that public authorities, “transcend local interests” whereas “inter-local agreements” reflect local interests. Lewis opens a new vista on the American landscape …
Urban Violence in the United States and France
This article compares urban violence in the United States and France, particularly the 1992 collective violence in California and the riots of 2005 in Paris. It investigates the basis of these disorders, and examines whether they can be explained as the major product of economic disadvantage and social prejudice of the so-called deprivation theory. The article also identifies policy steps that can be taken to ensure public safety when the complex…
A Strategy for Neighborhood Decline and Regrowth
This paper examines neighborhood decline and takes up the larger issue of formulating a strategy for regrowth. A case study of Marseille France highlights this strategy along with possible criteria for policy transfer to American cities. The strategy is designated by the author as High-Intensity Concentrated Area Development (HICAD). The HICAD strategy differs from those used in the United States and employs five basic ideas—selection, pressure, …
What makes a great city great? An American perspective
Bulpitt in America
This article examines Jim Bulpitt's seminal work on UK territorial politics within the American context. We approach territorial politics by examining the ebbs and flows of American urban policy during the period 1964 to 2008. In doing so, our analysis explores changes in presidential approaches towards urban policy, and thus center–periphery relations, based on the outcomes of electoral politics. We find that conditions specific to the USA cause…
Beyond the Rhetoric
Louisville’s consolidation with Jefferson County was the first large-scale merger to take place in the United States in more than 30 years. The authors examine this merger as a major institutional innovation that was supposed to enhance economic development. Proponents of consolidation claimed that institutional change would “shake up” the system and create an economic boom. The authors use actual results to determine whether this much-heralded e…
Civic Culture and Corporate Regime in Louisville
We examine the civic culture in Louisville focusing upon the community power structure, community value system, and public decision-making system as described by knowledgeable persons. Interviewees were selected for their first-hand knowledge of community decision making as participants and close observers and to represent different interests. Respondents described what resembles a corporate-centered regime in economic development but which does …
Terror, Barriers, and the Changing Topography of Jerusalem
This article deals with the impact of urban terror and the construction of a peripheral barrier around Jerusalem. We are interested in an atypical set of conditions, or what might be called punctuated change, characterized by (1) an extremely shortened or telescoped time span; (2) the presence of an abrupt crisis that threatens to seriously harm, negatively transform, or even destroy a social order; (3) a volatile environment in which response is…
An Anatomy of Urban Terror
This paper examines the increased prevalence of urban terror and its spatial implications. Urban terror concerns territory, space and logistics, and is characterised by low-intensity, ambiguously bounded warfare. It is defined as attacks intentionally directed against non-combatants and key installations located in high-density, continuously developed, diversified environments. The research traces the collective experience of London, Moscow and I…
How to Study Comparative Urban Development Politics
Suburbs without a City
City-county consolidation is advanced as a good government reform to promote efficiency, equity, and accountability and, more recently, to reduce growing disparities between central cities and suburbs. Whether these objectives are realized is more doubtful than the fact that local reorganization embodies a real change in power relations. Altering boundaries changes the kinds of issues that are relevant to decision makers as well as the relative p…

Does 9-11 Portend a New Paradigm for Cities
This essay suggests that 9-11 constitutes a critical event for urban scholars because it encapsulated and catalyzed a trend toward urban-based terror that had been building for a decade or more. The best way to put 9-11 in perspective and understand its significance is through a paradigm. In constructing the 9-11 paradigm, the author suggests a set of components that set the parameters for explanation. These consist of the diffusion of terror as …
Urban Strategies for a Global Era
This article is based on a study of 10 cities in Western Europe and North America over a 30-year period. Based on detailed case studies, the authors identify four strategies of development: (a) growth strategies, (b) community development initiatives, (c) regionalism, and (d) national urban policy. The first of these strategies focuses on promoting economic growth, albeit sometimes "slow" or "smart" growth. The other three strategies focus on res…

What is new about globalisation and what does it portend for cities
This article addresses the questions of what is new about globalisation and what globalisation means for cities in the future. I begin with the notion that globalisation must be considered in its totality, as part of a complex bundle of technological, economic, and socio-cultural forces. I also point out that globalisation is a process that gradually evolves and not a thing that suddenly appears. While every new age holds marked change, it also c…
Does Terror Have an Urban Future
This article was written and submitted before the 11 September terrorist attack on New York City. Minor revisions were made to the text and a post-script added in order to bring it up to date, but the original data, themes and findings have been left intact. Our study examines the occurrence of terror in 40 cities across the globe. We survey incidents, fatalities, injuries and damage due to terror between 1993 and 2000. We also encapsulate these …
Introduction
Urban democracy
Global Challenge and Institutional Capacity
This article explores the question of how locally based administration can be refitted for the next millennium. We use global trends to formulate a new ecology based on open markets, increasing intensity of global interaction, and highly decentralized activities. That ecology produces both positive currents and negative countercurrents. These reciprocating dynamics lead to wealth through urbanization but also to imbalances in investment and growt…
The Political Economy of Urban Regimes
The authors suggest how regime politics is influenced in systematic ways by particular kinds of bargaining environments. They describe a theoretical framework designed to examine the interplay of local democratic development, market environments, and intergovernmental networks on regime dynamics in eight cities in Western Europe and the United States since the 1970s. The authors explain how structural forces influence critical aspects of local re…

Black Cities/White Suburbs
This essay analyzes race relations in America from the perspective of changing demographic trends between cities and suburbs. Essentially, it treats cities and suburbs as territorially distinct units through which social processes between racial or ethnic groups are carried out. Central cities are fast becoming reservations for the poor and unwanted; suburbs are increasingly exclusive and enjoy a privileged status for those who can afford to resi…

Leadership and Decision-making in New York City and London
In recent years the idea of decentralisation has attained a controversial status among those concerned with the future of our cities. To its advocates, decentralisation is seen as a tool by which citizens can forge a sense of community and make their cities liveable; to others, it is a ruse which detracts from real problems, or worse, threatens the cosmopolitanism of our great cities. The debate continues across continents and by now the argument…

Urban policy and the exterior city
The Emergence of the Exterior City
Cities, Suburbs, and the Colonial Syndrome
Ties that Bind
This article argues that central cities and their surrounding regions are highly interdependent, and that neither suburbs nor central cities are self-sufficient. For example, suburban per capita income is linked to central city per capital income, and the price of peripheral "edge city" office space is linked to the price of office space in the central business district. Not only do many suburbanites earn their incomes in central cities, but the …
Can Politicians Bargain with Business
These authors examine the capability of local government to influence economic development by formulating a framework that treats state-business relations as a bargaining process. This framework suggests that governmental influence is tied to the distribution of bargaining advantages along three dimensions of a liberal-democratic political economy: market conditions, popular-control systems, and public-intervention mechanisms. The authors offer a…
Reorganization in Three Cities
The author compares urban reorganization over a period of three decades in New York, Paris, and London, asking why reorganization produces unanticipated consequences, how the process of reorganization can be understood, and, using cities as a type of organization, what can be learned about their behavior in comparative context. A model is presented that identifies the process and values of reorganization. This model illustrates that conflicting v…
