Long waves of urban reform: Putting the smart city in its place
This article maps urban reform movements onto ‘long waves:’ consistently patterned technological and economic cycles that repeat over time. Using the example of the United States, we argue that periodizing urban reform movements in this way reveals surprising similarities in different historical contexts. Across cycles, two tropes repeatedly appear: discourses of efficiency, that propose technological solutions to urban problems, and those of bea…
When private vice hurts public virtue: Of Blind Men, Elephants and the Politics of Market Failure
The concept of market failure articulates what is recognized by most economists as a set of legitimate reasons for state intervention. Contrary to mainstream economic thought, however, the various types of market failure (notably externalities, public goods and information asymmetries) are not separate descriptions of distinct empirical phenomena, but simply offer different perspectives on the same problem, as I contend in this paper. Because the…

Toward an infrastructural critique of urban change: Obsolescence and changing perceptions of New York City's waterfront
This paper examines the interlinkages between changing infrastructural regimes on a macro-level and changing cultural imaginaries, stagings and experiences of cities. New York City's waterfront serves as a case study to examine how the transition from the Fordist era to a so-called post-industrial era has fundamentally been a large-scale infrastructural realignment to facilitate global production networks which has brought with it new understandi…
Infrastructures of the Global: Adding a Third Dimension to Urban Sustainability Discourses
1. A More Sustainable City Hopes for cities to solve the social, environmental, and economic problems of the early 21st century loom large over discourses on sustainability in the United States. On a rapidly urbanizing planet, it is often argued, the global challenge of creating a more sustainable kind of living can best be tackled in cities and by urban actors. Besides the widespread notion of an emerging urban era, this focus on cities can be e…
A Paradoxical Relationship? Regionalization and Canadian National Identity
Regionalization tendencies have often been regarded, in academic and political debates, as a serious challenge for Canadian federalism and the national unity of Canada. This article argues that regionalism—and increased regionalization processes in the context of neoliberal globalization tendencies—is not a contradictory force that threatens federalism and national unity, but that it is and has historically been a decisive feature of Canadian civ…
