Download or read book City Lives and City Forms written by Jon Caulfield and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on a series of pivotal issues confronting Canadian cities and city-dwellers today, this volume address key themes in urban studies: the interaction between social relations and urban landscape, the status of the city in the new world economy, and the sociocultural complexity of urban populations. The fifteen essays presented here reflect the current preoccupations and perspectives of critically oriented urban researchers in Canada. The essays in Part 1, 'People, Places, Cultures, ' examine the nature of urban space and the links between this space and social relations, illustrating the fundamental principle that urban spaces are 'built values' and 'built politics' - physical expressions of social process. Part 2, 'The Economy of Cities, ' explores recent fundamental shifts in the economic character of Canadian cities, whose effect on the social and physical landscapes has been as dramatic as the explosive onset of industrialism was in the last century. Part 3, 'Urban Social Movements, ' focuses on the practices of social movements, including those oriented to gender, race, and the environment. Consisting largely of applied case studies, rather than broad thematic essays, City Lives and City Forms presents an overall argument for focused critical research in the urban field and suggests possible directions for the future.

Download or read book The Vital Politics of Gentrification written by Jessica M. Parish and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is about the vital politics of gentrification. The vital politics of gentrification is a politics of space that places the question of the vital characteristics of people and places at its very core. The dissertation argues that this vital politics is evident in the alignment between the 21st century proliferation of new forms of health and wellness consumption in gentrifying urban neighbourhoods (i.e. yoga studios, day spas, and juice bars) and broader shifts in how governing mentalities understand the relationship between health and urban space. The concept of the vital politics of gentrification is offered as a critique of normalized and commonsensical modes of thinking and acting towards health in the contemporary moment. This critique has two parts. The first analyzes contemporary spatial problematizations of health in light of those that came before. In particular, the birth and normalization of forms of knowledge-power that problematize health as socially and environmentally determined (that is, determined by the social and physical characteristics of where we live work and play) has had major impacts in recent decades on the theory and practice of governing urban spaces and populations. To understand the emergence of this form of political rationality the dissertation pursues a genealogy of the relationship between space and how health is conceptualized and problematized since the golden age of public health in early 20th century Canada. The second documents how health and vitality have become constitutive aspects of material struggles to define, enact, and inhabit space in the West Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale. Parkdale is an important case study because it is a neighbourhood where significant levels of material deprivation exist cheek by jowl with an emergent proliferation of forms of elite heath care consumption. Against the backdrop of the changing spatial problematizations of health, I conclude that that the actions of diverse agents have converged to produce Parkdale as a healthified space, a space in which forms of valuation and belonging are actualized and enacted through the power to lay claim to health. I further conclude that this raises distinct challenges for thinking about justice in the 21st century.
Download or read book Everyday Life in the Gentrifying City written by Tone Huse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Oslo, Everyday Life in the Gentrifying City offers an examination of gentrification from below, exploring the effects of this process upon city neighbourhoods and those that inhabit them, whether residents, business owners and their customers, or local activists. Engaging with recent debates surrounding immigration and the inclusion of ethnic minorities in the city, the book takes up the question of ethnicity and gentrification. It argues for an urban policy that gives up the preoccupation with policies concerning the residential mix and place transformation in favour of empowering its citizens. A lively and engaging analysis, in which theoretical rigour is illuminated with rich interviews and empirical content in order to shed light on the relationship between gentrification, displacement, and integration, Everyday Life in the Gentrifying City will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, geography, anthropology and urban studies.

Download or read book Divercities written by Oosterlynck, Stijn and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people deal with diversity in deprived and mixed urban neighbourhoods? This edited collection provides a comparative international perspective on superdiversity in cities, with explicit attention given to social inequality and social exclusion on a neighbourhood level. Although public discourses on urban diversity are often negative, this book focuses on how residents actively and creatively come and live together through micro-level interactions. By deliberately taking an international perspective on the daily lives of residents, the book uncovers the ways in which national and local contexts shape living in diversity. The book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students of poverty, segregation and social mix, conviviality, the effects of international migration, urban and neighbourhood policies and governance, multiculturality, social networks, social cohesion, social mobility, and super-diversity.

Download or read book Mixed Communities written by Gary Bridge and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encouraging neighbourhood social mix has been a major goal of urban policy and planning in a number of different countries. This book draws together a range of case studies by international experts to assess the impacts of social mix policies and the degree to which they might represent gentrification by stealth. The contributions consider the range of social mix initiatives in different countries across the globe and their relationship to wider social, economic and urban change. The book combines understandings of social mix from the perspectives of researchers, policy makers and planners and the residents of the communities themselves. Mixed Communities also draws out more general lessons from these international comparisons - theoretically, empirically and for urban policy. It will be highly relevant for urban researchers and students, policy makers and practitioners alike.
Download or read book Urban Diversity written by Caroline Kihato and published by Woodrow Wilson Center Press. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world’s urban populations grow, cities become spaces where increasingly diverse peoples negotiate such differences as language, citizenship, ethnicity and race, class and wealth, and gender. Using a comparative framework, Urban Diversity examines the multiple meanings of inclusion and exclusion in fast-changing urban contexts. The contributors identify specific areas of contestation, including public spaces and facilities, governmental structures, civil society institutions, cultural organizations, and cyberspace. The contributors also explore the socioeconomic and cultural mechanisms that can encourage inclusive pluralism in the world’s cities, seeking approaches that view diversity as an asset rather than a threat. Exploring old and new public spaces, practices of marginalized urban dwellers, and actions of the state, the contributors to Urban Diversity assess the formation and reformation of processes of inclusion, whether through deliberate actions intended to rejuvenate democratic political institutions or the spontaneous reactions of city residents.
