Austerity and sustainability: ‘Common-sense' neoliberalism in a Finnish city
The 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent austerity measures were harsh on cities.

As a solution to cities’ budget deficits, austerity became a widely accepted ‘common-sense' policy. During this time, the seemingly contradictory sustainability policies increased support. This article analyses how …
Eco-gentrification in a Welfare State: How Sustainable City Development Gradually Reduces Social Equity
In Nordic welfare states, progressive planning and housing policies have prevented the most severe forms of gentrification-led displacement. In this paper, we argue that eco-gentrification as a phenomenon is entering the Nordic countries. We illustrate this with a case study of the fast-growing, medium-sized Finnish city of Tampere, where the transformation of a former welfare city into a “sustainable city” is creating unintended gentrification. …
Green Neighbourhood Identity: How Residents Use Urban Nature Against Territorial Stigmatization in Finnish Housing Estates
The 1960s housing estates are widely defamed in public discourse, including two neighbourhoods of focus in this research in the fast-growing “sustainable city” of Tampere, Finland.

It views the relationship between territorial stigmatization and neighbourhood identity through urban nature, which has received minimal a…

In general, DIY urbanism tries to make urban everyday life better, but it is not always considered a political act. This paper presents an ethnographic case study of a DIY skatepark buildi…
