Sea-Level Rise and Growth Machines in Coastal Cities
Climate change, and sea level rise (SLR) in particular, poses new challenges for urban politics. In this paper, we use exploratory case studies of various communities along the Eastern seaboard of the United States, focusing primarily on Boston and secondarily on New York City and Norfolk, to develop hypotheses regarding the behavior of local growth machines (GMs) in response to the threat posed by SLR on local property values. Part of this analy…

Comparative Case Study Methods in Urban Political Development
Over the past decade there has been a concerted attempt among a growing group of authors to bring together the political science subfields of urban politics and American political development (APD). In this paper, I look at specifically how the comparative study of different cities and urban areas might contribute to this intellectual project, beginning with a brief illustrative comparison of Philadelphia and Montreal. I then place that compariso…

The Cities on the Hill is an intricately crafted, complex, path-breaking, and hopefully path-defining work that provides a comprehensive and detailed model of American urban political development d
White Flight
The term “white flight” originated specifically with regard to school desegregation. Though Supreme Court decisions such as Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) and Swann vs. Charlotte‐Mecklenburg Board of Education (1971) should ostensibly have decreased segregation in schools, Milliken vs. Bradley (1974) made it possible for white parents living in a central city in which there was a large black population to avoid integration by moving to an ou…
Grocery Cooperatives as Governing Institutions in Neighborhood Commercial Corridors
We explore cooperatives’ potential to play governing roles in neighborhood commercial corridors (NCCs) by examining one grocery cooperative in Philadelphia that has had stores on three NCCs in the city. We distinguish between an anchor institution role, where one organization provides collective goods for the corridor, and governance, where multiple corridor stakeholders collectively provide goods. We conclude that a cooperative will more likely …

Reply to Prof. Masters
I'm happy to report that I agree wholeheartedly with Roger Masters that we humans have a biological rather than a socially constructed need for water. In fact, Prof. Masters and I are so much in agreement on this point that I don't feel it necessary to consult “the literature on mammalian biological needs” as he suggests. As a mammal myself, I firmly believe that I would die were I denied water for a sufficient length of time, though I plan on ke…
Privatization, the World Water Crisis, and the Social Contract
To deny someone the right to water is tantamount to denying them the right to life, and to set a price on water is to set a price on life. It comes as no surprise then to find a good amount of anxiety and contention over who gets to set the price of water and how much they charge. And over the past two decades, throughout both the developed and developing world, setting the price of water has fallen increasingly to private companies at the same t…

When Cities Get Married
In this article, we examine the processes by which urban space became sexually coded through municipal consolidation in the nineteenth century. Our analysis covers the union of Van Vorst Township to Jersey City in 1851 and the absorption of the City of Brooklyn to “Greater New York” in 1898. In both cases, urban space was gendered and sexualized through courtship and marriage metaphors used by local newspapers. We argue that consolidation is repr…
From Sewers to Suburbs
Central city infrastructure development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in areas such as sewerage, water works, street lighting, and street pavement, was an important cause of suburban municipal autonomy by the time of the Great Depression. Suburban autonomy was in turn an important factor in the racial and economic transformations that were visible in central cities by the 1950s. Thus, although central city infrastructure development …

Urban Infrastructure Politics and Metropolitan Growth
In 1874, the towns of Kingsbridge, Morrisania, and West Farms were all annexed to New York City. A fourth town, Yonkers, was also considered for annexation but was insteadincorporatedas a city in 1872 andremainedindependent of its expanding neighbor to the south. The argument made here is that infrastructurural development reinforcedYonkers’s autonomy andthus limitedthe geographic expansion of New York City. Kingsbridge, Morrisania, and West Farm…
