Microspheres of self-governance
This paper delves into the emergence of alternative governance models in Bogotá, Colombia, enabled by platform technology amid state inefficiencies magnified by poorly managed COVID-19 lockdowns. The argument on how these microspheres of alternative self-governance emerged draws on a digital ethnography study of ride-hailing platform drivers in Bogotá who operate within the city's informal economy due to the local lack of regulations. Predominant…

Housing Provision for Women Experiencing Domestic and Family Violence in NSW during Covid-19
Domestic and family violence (DFV) increased in complexity during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating further opportunities to help women escape DFV. Governments responded by injecting ad-hoc funding into temporary housing options and homelessness services. This paper provides an integrated discussion between the COVID-driven responses (policy analysis) and the experiences of DFV service providers in NSW, Australia (empirical data), which showed that…
Reimagining the Future of the Sydney CBD
Covid-19 has led to unprecedented changes in functional structures in our cities. Since the mid-20th century, central business districts (CBDs) worldwide have hosted economic and employment activities, leaving suburbia to home the residential function. However, the global Covid-19 responses have resulted in changes in some urban functions, and it is yet to see if these changes would transpire as temporary or permanent. Some argue that the broad m…
Informal housing and residents’ well-being in Caracas and Sydney
Informal housing has been assessed to have a negative impact on its residents’ well-being. However, this article demonstrates that residents also perceive and experience some positive effects within their precarious housing condition. Both the Global South and the Global North are home to informal housing, yet there are very few studies that compare these contexts. In response, this article discusses the differences and similarities between how i…
Territorial implications of criminality and religiosity in Caracas’s barrios
In Caracas’s barrios, criminal and religious activities accompanied by flexible community dynamics influence residents’ social construction of their territory. This article presents how these activities continuously reshape conceptualizations: the public, private, community and spatial boundaries of barrios. By applying a qualitative approach to interpreting participants’ perspectives, the relationship between criminality and religiosity, and the…
Barrio morphology and private space
Urban morphology has historically been studied through the physical characteristics of a particular space. However, the urban form of a place is also influenced by relationships and social contexts. Therefore, this paper discusses the social processes that drove the construction of private space in informal settlements in Caracas, thus defining the barrio morphology. A qualitative approach was undertaken, including observations, interviews and a …
