THE TENDENCY TO UNDERSTAND the impact of globalization on political activism through such binary oppositions as “global” versus “local” and “space” versus “place” elides the processes through which these spatial categories and discourses are politically constructed and contested. By contrast, the political significance of place, far from being settled in the evolving global economy, is a hotly contested stake in contemporary struggles over the built environment. Through an ethnographic study of community activism in New York City, this paper demonstrates how elite claims about the global imperatives of capital accumulation are being challenged in so‐called “local places.” [Globalization, urban development, activism, space, New York City
