▼ This research employs phenomenological methodology to dissect the underlying implications of the Brazilian martial art of capoeira, and how it is utilized as a form of social inclusion for participants. Capoeira was first developed in the 1600s, as enslaved African immigrants disguised it as a dance in order to trick their masters and seek freedom. Because it is historically rooted in resilience and resistance, capoeira has become a philosophy of life for most of its practitioners today. This ethnography demonstrates alternatives to the development discourse by observing ways that community-based approaches utilize culture as a tool for resilience and resistance in the modern struggle for citizenship and agency. The phenomenological approach of Freire is also included in the research methodology through the inclusion of participants in the creation of the research design in order to allow the locals to shape the problem and identify meaningful themes that frame the overall project. This methodology includes understanding structures of experience and consciousness, and how capoeira may or may not alter these phenomena. The reflexive properties of performance empower participants though the understanding of meaning, development of critical analysis, and thus the creation of agency or what my participants refer to as citizenship. I conducted unstructured interviews in the form of oral stories and participated actively over a four-year period to unravel the complexities involved with structures of power and how they are created within this community. Through the utilization of this methodology, participants highlighted what it means to live as a capoeirista, as well as other particular conundrums that are inherent in their society. Participants discussed the aspect of capoeira as a philosophy of life and what it means to live as a capoeirista. These data highlight what they learn from capoeira that they can apply to their lives outside of the academy, as well as outlying factors that individuals address pertaining to themes within Brazilian culture in the periphery of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

▼ Millennial Delhi is a city whose landscape has been scarred by a series of evictions of the homes of some of its most vulnerable citizens. These evictions are different not just in degree but in kind from those that have come before. Evictions at this scale last occurred in Delhi during what is known as the Emergency from 1975-77 when democratic and fundamental rights were suspended. Unlike evictions within the Emergency, however, contemporary evictions have occurred through democratic processes rather than in their absence- they mark a different set of negotiations, legitimations, processes as well as horizons of resistance. A further factor makes contemporary evictions distinct: they were ordered not by the sarkar -the institutions of the executive across local, state and federal scales that govern the national capital - but by the adalat, the Judiciary. They were, in fact, ordered by the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court of India within a unique judicial innovation in India called the Public Interest Litigation that had been established, ironically, to enable the poor to access justice in the highest courts of the land. To understand how the evictions of the poor can be read as acts in the "public interest," this dissertation argues that we must first locate the basti in the particularity of the production of space in Delhi. The Hindustani word "basti" comes from basna which means to settle or inhabit. It is the term used most often by the poor to describe their homes that are often marked by some measure of physical, economic, and infrastructural vulnerability. The basti is often reduced to the slum, a marker of illegal occupation of land and, more broadly, the dysfunctional landscape of the megacities of the global South. Yet this dissertation argues that more than just a `slum,' built environment, material housing stock, or planning category, a basti is, in fact, a territorialisation of a political engagement within which the poor negotiate their presence in as well as right to the city. It is a spatial manifestation of the negotiations of citizenship. Its eviction then represents not just the demolition of a built environment but the transformation of precisely this political engagement- an erasure of the poor's presence within and right to the city. Put another way, contemporary evictions represent an altered urban politics where a set of familiar referents- development, order, governance, citizens, and the public- are redefined to not only enable evictions but also to see them as acts of good governance, order and planning. Read this way, evictions allow us to access the central theoretical and ethical concern of this dissertation: the politics of the production and reproduction of poverty and inequality in the contemporary Indian city and the negotiations of citizenship that underlie it. Broadly, this dissertation argues that evictions make visible make visible a juridicalisation of politics in the Indian city. This juridicalisation is marked by the emergence of new frameworks, discourses and practices…

3. Kassa, Derese Getachew, 1979-. Stranded strangers : Ethiopian refugees and the quest for urban citizenship in Nairobi, Kenya.

▼ There is a burgeoning literature on Right to the City much of which is inspired by the pioneering works of Henry Lefebvre who wrote about urban citizenship for all inhabitants of the city, access to rights and resources in the city, and political participation in the management of urban affairs. This study explores whether the Right to the City approach can help explain the dynamics of state- refugee relations in the urban centers of Africa. Hence, I took the case of Ethiopian refugees in Nairobi (the capital city of Kenya) to answer the following research questions: a) How do Ethiopian urban refugees negotiate aspects of urban citizenship in Nairobi?, b) How adequate is the “right to the city” approach to explain the everyday struggle of Ethiopian urban refugees for rights and resources?, and c) What kind of urban policy measures can African cities take to manage conflict driven urbanization? The research is a qualitative case study where a total of 30 urban refugees and a total of 20 community leaders and representatives of local and international civil society organizations working on refugee matters were interviewed. The interviews captured, described and discussed the respondents’ own ideas, opinions and experiences. I also reviewed international, national as well as urban level policy and strategic documents of Kenya when it comes to documenting and regulating international urban refugees. After the introduction, the second chapter dwells on a thorough discussion of the literature on citizenship and social justice, in general, and urban citizenship in particular. Following the third chapter on methodology, I embark on discussing the major findings. In a nutshell, I found out that urban refugees exist and interact on two different social spaces. On the one hand, they are actively involved in the production of urban space by employing their skills, money, time and social networks. On the other hand, refugees operate under very restrictive and discriminatory state policies that often deprive them basic liberties and freedoms. They, therefore, meet two of the criteria of Lefebvre’s concept of urban citizenship i.e. inhabitance and the production of urban spaces. However, they fail to meet the third criterion i.e. political rights to participate in the governance of the city. In short, they are stranded strangers who produce complex social, economic and political practices difficult to qualify in such conventional terms like “refugee”, “immigrant” or a “citizen”.

Sociologija - Sociologija grada / Sociology - Urban Sociology

Tema rada je sociološko određenje pojma urbanog građanstva. U tu svrhu, urbano građanstvo se prevashodno utemeljuje u dve ideje: pravo na grad i urbanitet, ali se analitički razmatra i kao jedan od novih koncepata građanstva. Osnovna tvrdnja na kojoj urbano građanstvo počiva jeste da je nacionalni koncept građanstva-državljanstva nedovoljno obuhvatan, jer univerzalizacijom i formalizacijom principa (po osnovu nacionalnosti) zapostavlja moralno-vrednosnu dimenziju građanstva i time nema odgovora na nejednakosti koje se prelivaju na ravan svakodnevnih praksi života u gradu. Stoga se urbano građanstvo pojavljuje kao vrsta dopune i etičkog korektiva postojećeg građanskog modela, zagovarajući ideju da prava i odgovornosti najpre treba realizovati na nivou grada, kao primarne čovekove društveno-političke zajednice. Urbano građanstvo posebne kritike upućuje neoliberalnoj ideologiji za koju se smatra da takmičarskom atmosferom i afirmacijom prava kapitala narušava prava građana da samostalno odlučuju o korišćenju prostora, čime se potiskuje njegova upotrebna vrednost. Time se grad pretvara u prostor ispunjen komercijalnim sadržajima, a građani svode na konzumeristički orijentisane klijente, dok se aktivistička i kritička komponenta figure građanina pasivizuju. Stoga urbano građanstvo predstavlja i poziv na politizaciju građanina, i to primarno kroz aktivizam za ostvarivanje prava na grad. Akteri urbanog građanstva su različite društvene grupe koje se na osoben način suočavaju sa barijerama i osećaju izopštenim iz prava na grad, ali takođe i uspevaju da se organizuju i kroz zajedničke napore probiju neke barijere zvanične politike. U radu se obrađuju rodna, homoseksualna, ekološka, imigrantska perspektiva prava na grad, kao i pravo na grad siromašnih, kao neke od najistaknutijih vrsta nejednakosti u prostoru. Iako se zahtevi datih grupa u osnovi svode na isti cilj – jačanje upotrebne vrednosti grada nasuprot komercijalnoj, pokazuje se da su akteri urbanog građanstva unutar sebe heterogeni i fragmentisani, što njihove zahteve smešta u sferu depolitizovanog građanskog društva i otežava postizanje većih sistemskih promena.

▼ This dissertation explores the making of infrastructure in Middle East cities in the face of rising urban inequalities and grassroots mobilisation efforts. National governments and international donors continue to provide apolitical technical explanations to infrastructural failures in Cairo, but remain silent on systemic inequalities cemented by local and transnational capital. My study examines the politics of urban water as a site of negotiation, accumulation by dispossession and of protest, in both elite and unplanned areas in Cairo’s North Eastern districts. Moments of water shortages in Cairo are used to trace processes of state-society negotiations and claim-making. Based on qualitative action research tools like community and elite interviews, narrative walks, archival research and government meetings, I contend that informal practices are used by political and economic actors to govern urban water. I argue that informality drives conditions of infrastructure access and transcends class, institutional legality, and geographical boundaries. My research contests the accepted assumption of the Egyptian state’s monopoly over its water functions. First, I address the ‘informal state’ and expose arbitrary policy-making, donor pressures and crony networks, and ‘guesstimations’ by street-level water bureaucrats. Second, I analyse informal water practices, such as community-constructed water projects in poor neighbourhoods, and privatised governance in elite settlements. In order to trace exclusive water access, I particularly examine local patronage geometries and networks of privilege of the state, real estate developers, and the military. Third, I contend that both elite and marginalised residents employ contentious and organisational tools to secure water rights; through protests, social media activism, and people as infrastructure. This study engages with urban theorisations from the Global South and contributes case studies from the Middle East on urban water, grassroots negotiations and informality. It provides an alternative to apolitical discourses on infrastructure failures, emphasising class, variegated water supplies, and state-society relations.

▼ This dissertation interrogates the right to the city as a category of analysis with recourse to an account of extreme marginality. As a starting premise, it seeks inspiration from Kristin Ross’ (1987) take on everyday life as a site of dominant relations of power on the one hand, and an incubator of utopian possibilities on the other. To this end, the dissertation probes three key questions. The first question asks: what are the conditions of possibility enabling the “slum dwellers” (sukumbasi in Nepali) in Kathmandu, Nepal, to make claims for the right to the city? I document the rituals of everyday life and the capacity to make claims that are organized through a metaphorical framework of a “house with three pillars." The second question broaches the issue of how claims for a right to the city come up against governmental programs seeking to secure norms of private property, environmental sustainability, and elite aesthetics. It asks: How does the threat of violence forge sukumbasi political subjectivity and inform renewed strategies of inhabitance? The third question investigates what implications these strategies have for diminishing, or modifying, the right to the city project? The last two questions prompt us to locate the practices of the poor within the context of a “politics of urgency” – an ad hoc creative and counterintuitive “non-movement” forged in the crucible of crisis, in which the organized ritual of everyday life is disrupted and stretched in new and uncertain directions. It is under these conditions that the demand for the right to the city loses its aspirational spirit on the one hand, while ushering in an evolving politics of possibility, on the other. In considering the politics and contingencies of the right to the city, we are presented with a stark understanding of the possibilities and limits of the political aspirations of the poor. The dissertation draws on ethnographic research of “the slum” in Kathmandu, and aims to combine Postcolonial Urbanism, Planning Theory and Critical Urban Studies to constructively probe the role of urban everyday life in troubling the political contours of the right to the city project.

▼ This research addresses the question of children’s active citizenship in relation to their independent mobility and aims to provide practical advice and tools for urban planning practitioners for involving children in decisions about the city. The nexus between ‘independent mobility’, ‘active/social citizenship’ and ‘urban planning’ involves a perplexing paradox about children’s rights, participation and their position as citizens. On the one hand, a rhetorical shift towards ‘children’s rights’ has emerged (as expressed in Australia being a signatory to the 1989 UN Convention of the Rights of the Child and in national child-centric policy and programming such as ‘Child Friendly Cities’). On the other hand, evidence reveals the rapid decline in independent mobility for children and in their freedoms to use the city in ways that suit childhood need. This is, reinforced by mainstream planning practice that, in general, ignores or excludes children from participating in decisions about (and even use of) the public realm in our cities. In responding to this paradox, increasing research interest has been applied to children’s independent mobility, the rapid decline in how freely children are able to engage independently with the city and the benefits that this disappearing independence has for children’s development, health and wellbeing. Concurrently, another research interest has emerged around the contested and often exclusionary nature of the city and in ways in which understandings of social citizenship and participation in urban planning decision-making can be expanded better to include the traditionally excluded, including children. This PhD research links these two research interests by examining the relationship between children’s independent mobility and social connectedness to the city and children’s active citizenship and their rights to the city. A goal of the research is to support urban planning in responding robustly to children’s social wellbeing as well as their rights to the city as citizens. The PhD partners with and contributes to the findings of a larger national study funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant (CATCH - Children Active Travel Connectedness and Health – DP 1094495) examining how factors in the built, social and policy environments influence the independent mobility and active travel of children aged 10 to 13 across a range of urban environments in four Australian cities. The research addresses two core research questions: 1. Is there a relationship between independent mobility and children’s citizenship and belonging in the city, particularly as understood by children themselves? 2. How can urban planning practitioners capture children’s independent experiences of the city in robust ways that will respect child citizens’ contributions, build their role as citizens and aid in responsive planning and development? The research takes a critical/social constructivist approach, employing mixed methods (including survey analysis, visual analysis and a…

▼ This dissertation explores the making of infrastructure in Middle East cities in the face of rising urban inequalities and grassroots mobilisation efforts. National governments and international donors continue to provide apolitical technical explanations to infrastructural failures in Cairo, but remain silent on systemic inequalities cemented by local and transnational capital. My study examines the politics of urban water as a site of negotiation, accumulation by dispossession and of protest, in both elite and unplanned areas in Cairo's North Eastern districts. Moments of water shortages in Cairo are used to trace processes of state-society negotiations and claim-making. Based on qualitative action research tools like community and elite interviews, narrative walks, archival research and government meetings, I contend that informal practices are used by political and economic actors to govern urban water. I argue that informality drives conditions of infrastructure access and transcends class, institutional legality, and geographical boundaries. My research contests the accepted assumption of the Egyptian state's monopoly over its water functions. First, I address the 'informal state' and expose arbitrary policy-making, donor pressures and crony networks, and 'guesstimations' by street-level water bureaucrats. Second, I analyse informal water practices, such as community-constructed water projects in poor neighbourhoods, and privatised governance in elite settlements. In order to trace exclusive water access, I particularly examine local patronage geometries and networks of privilege of the state, real estate developers, and the military. Third, I contend that both elite and marginalised residents employ contentious and organisational tools to secure water rights; through protests, social media activism, and people as infrastructure. This study engages with urban theorisations from the Global South and contributes case studies from the Middle East on urban water, grassroots negotiations and informality. It provides an alternative to apolitical discourses on infrastructure failures, emphasising class, variegated water supplies, and state-society relations.

▼ This dissertation examines the new subjects and spaces created through the institutional framework of charter schools, which is part of the neoliberalization of public education in the United States. Neoliberal ideology suggests a retrenchment of the state, where free-market mechanisms and individual freedoms are viewed as the ideal solution for the distribution of resources. Charter schools, as neoliberal institutions, are exemplars of new state-citizen relations in that many charter schools have intensely local governance structures, where the schools are managed by private individuals. As such, charter schools provide spaces for new social citizenship rights to be practiced, with the potential to reconfigure sociospatial relations. Using the case study of the creation of the Neighborhood Charter School in an intown neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, I examine both new practices of citizenship and the way in which charter schools have the potential to transform neighborhoods and cities. The analysis of the formation of the Neighborhood Charter School in the Grant Park- Ormewood Park neighborhoods of Atlanta, which included an examination of archival sources, interviews, participant observation, and a survey, points to three conceptual findings that contribute to theoretical understandings of neoliberalism, citizenship, and socio-spatial relations. First, charter schools illustrate a neoliberalizing and hybridizing state. The state is both present and transformed in the charter-school framework as compared to traditional public-school structures. Second, the state has changed the provision of social citizenship, by asking citizens to perform activities previously conducted by the state. Connected to the shifting meanings of social citizenship is the construction of subject-citizens, who are tasked to perform community. Third, this research further demonstrates how new institutions such as charter schools are instrumental to the reorganization of spatial relations at the urban and neighborhood scales. I find that charter schools function as local institutions, but their impact has the potential to extend to broader urban areas through their connection to urban regimes. Charter schools, then, by reshaping the activities of citizens in public education, illustrate the new subjects and spaces constructed by a neoliberalizing, yet still supervising, state. As such, charter schools bring into question the coherency of the neoliberal project.

▼ This thesis consists of an investigation of the impact of information technology on participatory planning practices and social changes in urban governance. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted in which three fields intersect and link with information technology - these being urban space, urban planning and socio-cognition. This framework is derived from four theoretical perspectives: Castells' theorisation of the network society, the paradigmatic shift in the urban planning praxis towards a communicative rationality, Piaget's genetic epistemological Constructivism, and the current concept of cyberspace. It is argued that informational space is a social construction and that knowledge may be considered as the raw material to fight social inequality. A qualitative socio-cognitive perspective is thus employed to study the rise of citizenship movements and enable an investigation to be carried out into social relations and the development of knowledge in the new digital environment, having the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, as a case study. The inquiry as a whole seeks to improve our understanding of the kind of social learning processes that might empower citizens' participation by exploring grassroots participatory practices in emergent informational space. The work involved undertaking an examination of social relations within the institutional digital environment by means of a socio- cognitive clinical method. Semi-structured and open interviews were carried out to study 30 selected subjects (local politicians, academics, technocrats, and community leaders) in Porto Alegre - a city which has been associated with radical democratic planning practices over 12 years, with an effort to build participatory informational space. The investigation of the characteristics of social relations and participatory practices in the urban governance context and the initial stages of institutional digital environments provided evidence that an embryonic process of citizenship empowerment was emerging in informational space, associated with radical changes in cognitive learning processes. This is a dialectical process that involves the re- articulation of local power relationships in the struggle to build networks of social change.

This thesis explores the possible effects of spatial characteristics on the use and perception public space by pre-teen children. The aim of this thesis was to identify spatial patterns that can be used to create urban public spaces which enhance the ability of children to make (diverse) friends, to explore different urban landscapes, interact with different types of people and situation, and to participate in social life and democratic processes. A short investigation of the general history of children in communal spaces is presented to contextualize the situation of urban children today. This is followed by an evaluation of recurring themes in scientific literature, which shows the diversity of definitions and approaches which are applied today. In order to find possible spatial effects, empirical research was conducted in two neighbourhoods - one urban and one sub-urbanof Utrecht, the Netherlands. A novel mapping method was used. Self-reported neighbourhood maps were drawn by children around the age of 10 during mapping workshops at four primary schools in Utrecht. The validity of the maps was evaluated by comparing them to on-site observations. Statistical analysis indicates that the effects of certain spatial characteristics near a residence are stronger than non-spatial factors such as going to school independently, living in an area where children make up over 20% of the population, of having one or more siblings. Especially the presence of courtyards or large parks is shown to benefit the social life of children in public space. Children who live near a courtyard have one to two neighbourhood more than average, while children who live near a large park have twice the spatial reach as the average child. The results of this thesis may be of interest to municipalities, urban planners and parents in general.

▼ This interdisciplinary study devised a Blues Methodology to investigate how a historically marginalized Black community conceives, practices and theorizes about citizenship in community-based pedagogical spaces (Douglas & Peck, 2013). Guiding questions were 1) How does a historically marginalized Black community conceive and practice citizenship? 2) How does the community’s conception and citizenship praxis compare to the dominant society’s conception? And 3) How can both conceptions inform citizenship education and citizenship research? To conduct this qualitative cultural study, I extended Clyde Woods’ Blues Epistemology and Sylvia Wynter’s theoretical construct of alterity into a methodology capable of illuminating the community’s culturally indigenous knowledge (ways of knowing) using cultural tools meaningful to them. Blues Methodology is a community-based inquiry approach employing a reflective researcher strategy that positions researcher in dialogue with community members to uncover culturally indigenous ways of knowing as well as hegemonic perspectives and community agency. The historically marginalized Black community of focus is located in “The South” where inhumane violence was routinely practiced against Africans and African Americans during and after enslavement. Terrorism was particularly brutal due to the intense labor required by the agrarian economy. Marginalization is a lasting legacy of enslavement, Jim Crow and structurally other forms of embedded racism. Twelve long term multigenerational community residents ranging in age from 17 to 80 years old, participated in this study. Two types of data were collected: oral and written. Oral data were collected from conversations and interviews with participants, written introspective data were collected from journaling. Researcher reflections also consisted of conversations with fictional characters who were constructed to protect my relationship with community participants and present childhood experiences that informed the research. Findings reveal that community conceptions of citizenship foster belonging and identity. Citizens theorized about their social economic historical political selves in the context of the local landscape. In contrast, the dominant society’s citizenship conception is an inclusion/exclusion dialectic that generically defines citizens selectively while excluding swaths of the U.S. population from curricula thus devaluing certain students and communities and relegating their knowledge to the margins at the expense of human freedom.

A democracia e as decisões oriundas das instituições públicas se realizam de forma legítima se os cidadãos conseguem participar e interagir, trocando argumentos dos prós e contras sobre determinada questão que envolve o bem comum da sociedade e da cidade. O modo de vida nas cidades, influenciados inclusive por variáveis relacionadas ao urbanismo e ao desenho urbano, acabam por transferir o momento deste encontro para os espaços públicos abertos – aí incluídos as vias públicas - por onde as pessoas inevitavelmente entram em contato. A preocupação com os espaços públicos abertos é tema recorrente na história da cidade de Porto Alegre há pelo menos quatro décadas, o que pode ser verificado pela análise do tratamento institucional dado ao tema. No entanto, mesmo com o passar do tempo, os problemas de mobilidade urbana persistem, e inclusive se acentuam, fruto das decisões do Poder Executivo local que acabam por inverter a prioridade, consolidando e incentivando a utilização do automóvel como modal de transporte preferencial, resultando no afastamento das pessoas e na dificuldade de interação. Movimentos sociais surgem em oposição a estas políticas, e a bicicleta se torna instrumento e símbolo para a retomada da escala humana da cidade como lugar do encontro, da interação, e da democracia.

Decisions taken by public institutions – as democracy itself – can be considered legitimate and function as such, when citizens are able to participate and interact, exchanging arguments of the pros and cons on an issue that involves the common good of society and the city. The urban way of life – influenced by Urbanism and urban design related factors – end up transferring that meeting point to the public spaces – including public thoroughfares – where people, inevitably, come in contact with each other. Dealing with open public spaces is a recurring subject and often reason for concern in Porto Alegre; it has been so for about four decades at least; this can de verified by analysing how public institutions have dealt with this issue. As a matter of fact, urban mobility related problems persist, and get even worse, as a consequence of decisions taken by the local government, which end up reverting priorities: the use of the automobile as a preferred mode of transportation is further encouraged and consolidated. People get more isolated, interaction is more difficult. Social movements arise, opposing such policies; the bicycle becomes a tool and a symbol for regaining the human scale of the city as a place of meeting, of interacting, and of democracy.

O presente trabalho faz uma análise da produção do espaço da cidade do Rio Grande, no Rio Grande do Sul, cidade portuária, que teve sua origem e história relacionada aos diferentes ciclos econômicos os quais vivenciou. Na atualidade, Rio Grande, vem recebendo uma série de investimentos voltados à implantação do Polo Naval, trazendo consequências para a vida das pessoas na cidade. Este ciclo de desenvolvimento está inserido numa política governamental que tem como principal objetivo o crescimento econômico acelerado do país. Ao longo da história da cidade, muitas camadas da população tiveram seus locais de moradia ameaçados ou sofreram remoções, devido à necessidade de modernização das atividades portuárias. Desta forma, esta configuração socioespacial, revela-se como o principal local de conflitos estabelecidos entre as necessidades de implantação das atividades econômicas e a reprodução da vida das pessoas. A partir desta problemática, procuramos abordar como este momento da economia vem trazendo reflexos para a cidade e sua população. Pensamos que, o espaço da cidade representa um importante papel, já que neste revelam-se as contradições da sociedade capitalista na qual vivemos, neste sentido torna-se também palco das ações humanas, para reprodução de suas condições de vida, criando assim as condições para o exercício da cidadania. Através de uma abordagem política, buscamos ressaltar a importância da apropriação destes espaços pelas pessoas, como uma condição para a melhoria da qualidade de vida e para uma efetiva aplicação das políticas urbanas que vem sendo desenvolvidas na atualidade.

This thesis analyzes the production process of the city of Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, a port town, which origin and history are related to the different economic cycles it experienced. Currently, Rio Grande has been receiving a number of investments for the implementation of the Naval Pole, bringing consequences for the lives of people in the city. This development cycle is part of a governmental policy whose main goal is the accelerated economic growth of the country. Throughout the history of the city, many sections of the population had their dwelling places threatened or suffered removals due to the need of modernization of the port activities. This way, this sociospatial configuration reveals itself as the main setting of established conflicts between the need of implementing economic activities and the reproduction of people‟s lives. From this issue, we try to explain how this moment in the economy has brought consequences for the city and its people. We think that the city space plays an important role, since the contradictions of the capitalist society in which we live are revealed there, and in this way it also becomes setting for the human actions, to reproduce their living conditions, creating the requirements for the exercise of citizenship. Through a political approach, we try to emphasize the importance of people owning these spaces as condition for improving the quality of life and for the effective…

▼ Civic initiatives in spatial development are on the rise. Whereas for a long time they were just a fringe movement, sometimes even a stand in the way of planned urban development, civic initiatives today are increasingly seen as valuable strategies for urban development. So far, however, when dealing with citizens, spatial planning has mostly focused on strategies for citizen involvement through participatory planning. In participatory planning, citizens can exert influence on goals set by governmental agencies, through procedures and frameworks that are set by the same governments and planners. This often results in disciplinary processes of thematic, procedural, and geographical inclusion that leave little room for creativity and the unexpected. Civic initiatives, on the contrary, are issue-oriented projects serving a specific but dynamic community interest, which does not have to be related to any ongoing public policy. They emerge from civil society spontaneously, are often unpredictable, dynamic, and multiplicit. Civic initiatives are at odds and hard to fit within the constraints of participatory planning. Together with an ongoing diversification in society, decentralization, dispersion of power, and increasing resource interdependency (e.g. land, property, knowledge, competences, capital, authority), the emerging practice of civic initiatives in spatial development, pose serious challenges to contemporary spatial planners. Planning strategies that answer to the dynamics of civic initiatives, meeting the complexity of an age of active citizenship, have so far been seriously underdeveloped. Reasoning from the perspective of emerging civic initiatives themselves, the thesis addresses three research questions: (i) Under what conditions do civic initiatives emerge? (ii) How do such initiatives gain robustness and resilience? (iii) What planning strategies are developed in, and in response to, these initiatives? Answers to these questions are used to explore potential and adequate strategies in dealing with civic initiatives – beyond the inclusionary and disciplinary confines of participatory planning approaches. To operationalize this civic initiative’s perspective the notion of “self-organization” is used. Coming from complexity theory, self-organization stands for a process of becoming in which order spontaneous emergences out of unordered beginnings. This notion is complemented by two other notions, coming from post-structuralist thoughts. These are “translation” from actor-network theory and “individuation” from assemblage theory. Just like self-organization, these notions address processes of becoming in a complex and non-linear environment. Together they from a theoretical framework with which the becoming of individual civic initiatives can be mapped. By applying this theoretical framework in multiple case study research, empirical insights are gathered in three different institutional contexts. Cases cover Denmark (co-housing initiatives), England (business improvement districts) and the Netherlands (civic… Advisors/Committee Members: Boelens, L., Spit, Tejo.

▼ This study investigates the intersections of local democratic experimentation and transit planning in Quito, Ecuador between 1972-2015 to better understand how transit planning outcomes take shape. It shows that while current national transformation promotes a participatory democracy and a desired future of different economic and social realities, this has resulted in alternative logics that take place through transit planning. Within this context, on the one hand, I reveal that when transit planning institutions apply institutional practices of citizen participation these engagements not only fail to incorporate concepts of justice or equity, at the same time, they are also deeply entrenched by social, political, and cultural meaning that provoke new possibilities. On the other hand, I show how transit planning occurs through the performance of different transit visions. I trace transit visions to understand how transit planning outcomes emerge through the repetition of social relations. My investigation treats transit planning as an unstable object of analysis in order to reveal the ensemble of visible and invisible dynamics behind transit outcomes. I show that transit decisions are made between a variety of positions that are not just shaped by traditional tools of prediction and behavior. Instead, I use four guiding transit visions: (1) unstable (2) mayors (3) institutions and (4) infrastructures to indicate how transit planning is accomplished through reiteration. I triangulate multiple sources—social media, archives, participant observation, interviews and two survey instruments—to write about transit planning from an ethnographic point of view to comprehend how transit outcomes are done. The study documents how these visions coalesce through the experiences of public transit users. I subsequently analyze data gathered from urban cyclists, who are at the margins of transit infrastructure, to provoke new ways of researching and analyzing transit problems.

▼ The dissertation Compounds of Modernity aimed at moving beyond meta-narratives and theoretical frameworks of neoliberalism and globalization to analyze the contemporary gated communities and spaces of exclusion. Instead of analyzing enclaves as products of neoliberalism and global culture, the dissertation looks at them as “processes of urban explosion” embedded in the history of power and control. Building new housing settlements on the periphery is not anew. The state technocrats, architects, and urban planners had always used these projects as instruments towards controlling population, hygienic development, and citizen formation. By looking at how the design of these compounds had changed with time, I generate a set of narratives concerning power, spatial governance, dealing with hygiene as a thing to control, the othering of citizens, and modernizing the nation-state. The changing rhetoric and underlying logic to manipulate the erection of these new compounds reveals how the state categorizes its citizens and invents the “other.” The construction of the “risk society” is a mere political and social construct in Egypt’s modern history. In the countryside during late colonial Egypt and early post-colonial time (1940s and 1950s), the humans and non-humans were objects of governance and control in the architectures of Hassan Fathy (New Gourna Village) and Sayyid Karim (the Manor). The inferior fellah and dirty animal were the infectious species to produce national crises of malaria, typhoid, and Bilharzia. Modernizing species and standardizing the built environment was part of building the state and maintaining national order. Later in the early 1950s, a housing initiative called the “Cordon-and-resettling” led to walling out old unhygienic communities and relocating villagers to the modern “Village of Tomorrow,” which included military training centers and new university villages. Under the social welfare state of Nasser, the housing mission in the city was to make new citizens, educate them through the state’s secular curricula, alleviate social class antagonism, build the “happy family,” and curb internal political struggles after the transition from monarchy to the Republic. The citizen and [his] experience was the main object of governance in the Villages of Tomorrow, such as Tahrir Province.In Cairo, a similar hygienic revolution occurred under the “Connect-fill-and-expand” housing initiative. One spatial outcome was the new compound on the periphery of Cairo, the “City of Tomorrow” experiment of Madinet Nasr or Nasr City (late 1950s and 1960s). In the new settlement of Nasr City, Sayyid Karim and Mohamed Riyad designed residential quarters, governmental buildings, Islamic university campus of Al-Azhar, wide roads for army parades and military zones were erected side by side. The notion of a “disciplined society” was emphasized through zoning and land use. A hierarchy of state institutions and power characterized Nasr City with high visibility. The production of a disciplined society was further emphasized…

▼ The neighbourhood became one of the key sites for urban policy development during the previous New Labour government, and Neighbourhood Management Pathfinders were amongst their final strategies to combat “the most difficult problems faced by deprived neighbourhoods” (SEU 2000:5). This thesis explores the process of neighbourhood management in the coastal town of Ilfracombe, Devon. Ilfracombe features the characteristics of decline found in a number of coastal towns across the country, and suffers from high levels of deprivation (House of Commons Report 2006). Consequently, the neighbourhood management pathfinder ‘Transform’ was deployed in Ilfracombe in an attempt to address high deprivation. This thesis uses empirical findings collected through interviews and focus groups to examine the process of ‘Transform’, from its conception to its practical operation. It specifically considers the ‘voices’ of residents whose opinions and experiences, as targets of neighbourhood intervention are not always sufficiently documented within policy narratives. Consequently, the thesis unravels the process of neighbourhood management through findings generated by qualitative research ‘on the ground’. These are then examined through the lens of governmentality, allowing the methods, practice and outcomes of government, to be unpacked through a presentation of my empirical findings (Foucault 1991). These examinations take a particular interest in notions of community engagement and participation, partnership working, and the process of social exclusion. Here, partnership is demonstrated to be a tentative and fragile process underlined by local histories and differing temporal frameworks for action. But, this research also demonstrates that joint working can be improved through neighbourhood management which widens routes of communication to officers ‘on the ground’. However, what this thesis hopes to demonstrate most strongly is the continuing depth of problems felt by residents in Ilfracombe and that the process of ‘inclusion’ through paid work and ‘active’ citizenship, underlined in Labour’s neighbourhood renewal strategies, is not tackling some of the main problems of ‘deprived’ neighbourhoods, as experienced by the residents themselves.

▼ This thesis presents ethnographic research from Delhi, India to suggest novel ways in which citizenship is understood through the context of decades of liberalization and a marked legal emphasis on property and individual rights. New articulations of civic rights based on identities of the urban poor effectively dismantle the significance of legally instituted regimes of differentiated citizenship and downplay the role of compensatory equity as a means of addressing inequality. In order to demonstrate how identities and citizenships are transforming in this context, the current planning paradigm and models of slum rehabilitation employed by the government of Delhi are examined. In particular, the public private partnership (PPP) model employed in the resettlement of the Kathputli Colony will serve as a focus for this thesis. Findings regarding citizenship are based upon more than thirty qualitative interviews conducted in a slum settlement - Kathputli Colony- selected for eviction conducted. The author along with a team of fellow researchers conducted these semi-structured interviews on site in August 2013. At the time of the interviews, residents of Kathputli Colony were distrustful of the law and yet acknowledged that it may be their only means of advocating on their own behalf. Though many residents were and are entitled to resettlement flats due to their differentiated citizenship status, the imposed illegality of their current living conditions has limited their options for political patronage and legal recourse. Consequently, residents are seeking alternative means of defining themselves in order to prove their eligibility and status as citizens, in order escape the illegality of being of a squatter in Delhi (Roy 2009; Mitra 2010; Sundar 2011). Through its focus on the Kathputli Colony - one of Delhi's numerous informal settlements - these new forms of identities and modes of negotiations that residents actively employ in order to achieve legitimacy and full citizenship status are explored. While a PPP model has been used in the case of Kathputli Colony, the citizenship struggles elucidated by this case are not unique to this form of resettlement and are indicative of a more enduring trend in the management of informal areas.

▼ This thesis traces the local government response to the presence of impoverished and street-homeless so-called vulnerable EU-citizens in Malmö (Sweden’s third largest city) between the years 2014-2016, and develops an analysis about how bordering takes place in cities. “Vulnerable EU-citizens” is an established term in the Swedish context, used by the authorities to refer to citizens of other EU Member States who are staying in Sweden without a right of residence and in situations of extreme poverty and marginality. A majority of those whom are categorised as “vulnerable EU-citizens” are Roma from Bulgaria or Romania. Starting from the observation that “vulnerable EU-citizens” have been pervasively problematised as unwanted migrants, the thesis asks how the municipal- and local authorities in Malmö act to discourage and otherwise manage their mobilities by controlling their conditions of stay. In doing so, it seeks to elaborate on theories about intra-EU bordering practices, and to elucidate some of the mechanisms, effects and implications of urban mobility control practices. Methodologically, the thesis is structured as a case study, centring on the case of the intensely contested Sorgenfri-camp – a makeshift squatter settlement that housed a large proportion of Malmö’s estimated total population of “vulnerable EU-citizens”. The Sorgenfri-camp was established in 2014 and lasted for a year and a half before it was demolished in November 2015 on the order of the City of Malmö’s environmental authorities. Often referred to in the media as “Sweden’s largest slum”, the Sorgenfri-camp was quite literally a central locus of a local and national political “crisis” regarding the growth of unauthorised squatter settlements. As a “critical case”, it offers a vantage point from which to trace the development of policy and government practices towards “vulnerable EU-citizens” and observe how the authorities negotiate the legal ambiguities, moral-political dilemmas, and social conflicts that swirl around the unauthorised settlements of “vulnerable EU-citizens”. It also serves as a key example of a more widespread framing of “the problem of vulnerable EU-citizens” as an order, nuisance and sanitation problem. The analysis is carried out with a theoretical framework informed by Foucaultian poststructuralist theory and theories of scale, combining insights from the field of critical border and migration studies with concepts from the legal geographic literature on urban socio-spatial control. In particular, it follows socio-legal scholar Mariana Valverde’s (2010) call to foreground the role of scalar categorisation and politics in the networked policing of various non-citizens. The analysis addresses the construction of the Sorgenfri-camp and its residents as a “nuisance problem” in popular and policy discourse, and explores the effects and consequences of this framing in the context of the administrative-legal process that resulted in the demolition of the settlement. The thesis highlights the city as a space…

▼ Cities are complex social environments representing a convergence of many physical and human processes which influence how young people form their identities and plan for their futures. The role of urban environments on social processes has received substantial attention. However, significantly less attention has been focused on how urban youth are impacted specifically as political actors. Youth are particularly exposed to feeling the impacts of historical and on-going geopolitical issues in and surrounding their urban environments. Amman, Jordan is a compelling location to examine urban impacts on young political actors because of the clear geopolitical changes taking place in and around the city. Amman has nearly doubled in size following recent instability in neighboring Iraq and Syria, which has deeply affected neighborhoods, the makeup of the city’s population, and daily experiences of being Ammani. This study furthers our understandings of how youth are experiencing and managing urban processes across the local, regional, and global scales. How young people are responding to increasing neoliberal pressures and challenges felt throughout their daily lives provides insights for academics, policy makers, and other stakeholders focusing on youth and their social movements. By applying a critical geopolitics theoretical framework to a young urban population and introducing the concept of situated citizenship, this study illuminates previously unexplored adaptations and applications of urban citizenship which may offer value applicability to other young urban populations. In Chapter 1 I summarize the historical events which have created contemporary Amman’s unique situation. In Chapter 2, I review the critical urban citizenship and critical youth geopolitical literatures which frame my work. Then in Chapter 3 I outline my methodological approach to my research. I present a cultural mapping of Amman in Chapter 4 to detail how the three most dominant regions of the city add specific cultural layers to youth’s daily lives. In Chapter 5, I outline how the city itself serves as a place of exclusion within the shared mental mapping of Jordanian-ness. Specifically, I argue that young people experience a situated citizenship based on historical geographies and multi- scalar relationships. In Chapter 6, I focus on the impacts of increasing regional pressure and decreasing opportunities which are compelling young people to decide whether to try and leave Amman for the chance to secure their futures or whether they will stay and try to fight for their rights to make the city. In Chapter 7, I review Jordan’s original social contract and how recent events have been testing the validity of this social contract for Amman’s youth. Then in Chapter 8, I highlight transformations within the city which are allowing youth to begin claiming Ammaniness as both an identity and strategy. Finally, I conclude with opportunities for future research and my closing thoughts. My… Advisors/Committee Members: Amy Mills.
