Strong Neighborhoods in Strong Markets: Placemaking as Coalitional Politics
Placemaking is a vaguely defined yet ubiquitous activity of urban development. It comprises a professional field encompassing experts, technical discourses, canonical texts, and even academic programs. This article suggests that placemaking’s popularity signals the growing complexity of the community development field and the political coalitions required for housing and neighborhood development in U.S. cities. Using Detroit as a case study, I ex…
Concrete Dreams: Practice, Value, and Built Environments in Post-Crisis Buenos Aires
What is progressive city building? Global expertise and local entanglements in Latin America
Latin American cities have emerged at the cutting edge of urban planning best practices circulated by multilateral agencies, transnational NGOs, and a cadre of celebrity architects and urbanists. Coherent with – and sometimes prompting – global trends, cities like Buenos Aires and Mexico City have dutifully built bike lanes, pedestrianized streets, and developed new public spaces amidst the frenzied global competition for a vaunted "livable," "gr…

The People's Plan? Participation and Post-Politics in Flint's Master Planning Process
Drawing upon an analysis of Flint's 2012-2013 master planning process, this article explores a puzzling set of questions: Why would a city under emergency management with an abrogated democratic process explicitly encourage extensive citizen participation in one of its most important and strategic documents? How does the urge to involve the community in decision-making reflect new priorities of urban governance? The paper suggests that such a par…

Criminals in Our Midst: Middle-Class Reactions to Representations of the "Ordinary" in a Buenos Aires Shantytown
Building upon the concept of moral indignation, an analysis of the social reaction to a Buenos Aires shantytown shows how discourses that emphasize the criminality of its inhabitants are mobilized to explain the economic and ontological instability experienced by the local middle class. The media's use of rhetorical frames that highlight the lack of boundaries between the middle-class readership and the residents of the shantytown produces indign…
Urban Fads and Consensual Fictions: Creative, Sustainable, and Competitive City Policies in Buenos Aires
Scholarship in urban sociology has pointed to the reliance of city governments on ever–more market mechanisms for organizing social and economic policy. This form of governance involves prioritizing cities’ cultural and social assets for their value in a global competition of urban “brands,” each competing for new infusions of human and investment capital. At the same time, however, cities have been at the center of seemingly progressive policy e…

But this is a park'! The paradox of public space in a Buenos Aires 'no man's land
Drawing upon qualitative fieldwork, this paper analyzes the occupation of an abandoned park in the south of Buenos Aires by the city's urban poor, delineating the implications of this incident for notions of citizenship in the context of deeply fragmented social rights. While public space has historically been understood as an expression of the universality of rights bearing membership in a political community, I show how this universalism became…
