    <title>WALK – monthly urban art walks with Alisa Oleva - BUILDHOLLYWOOD</title>
    <dc:date>2026-06-29T05:44:15+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.buildhollywood.co.uk/features/walk/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["A series of free monthly urban art walks over a period of one year.

As part of our latest Your Space Or Mine project, we appointed performance and walking artist Alisa Oleva as Artist in Residence, commissioned to work from BUILDHOLLYWOOD’s creative space, The CarWash, in Shoreditch.

“Each month I will host a walk which will start at The CarWash venue and then venture into the surrounding neighbourhood. Every walk will have a different theme, exploring the everyday, sensorial ways of engaging with the city, sounds, textures, memories and histories, emotional map-making, and the politics of public space” – Alisa Oleva.

Where does the city take you? Where do you turn next? Who walks these streets? What’s the sound of your own footsteps? Who owns the city? What’s here, and what do we wish was still here? Where do you find yourself now? These are the questions that Alisa explored on her experimental urban walks.

Over the past 12 months, Alisa’s walks have offered an act of collective close looking and reimagining – opening up spaces we don’t usually notice to make visible different ways of being in, and thinking about, the city.

To celebrate the end of our WALK series, we hosted a final Gathering event on the 20th July, which was an opportunity for past participants and for those who are curious to come together to celebrate over walking, sharing food, map making and conversations. The BUILDHOLLYWOOD CarWash has been the starting and finishing point of each event and we were excited to host the final Gathering at this space once again. "]]></description>

Alisa describes one-to-one walks with people who are new to a city, helping them explore ideas of home and belonging through everyday routes. She talks about blindfolded walks, long group walks that repeat the same path for hours, and workshops where people try simple exercises like walking differently, touching surfaces or noticing small details. She also explains how  she spends time “deep hanging out” in neighbourhoods. She connects her work to ideas from performance art, psychogeography and parkour. Especially the idea of “desire lines”, the paths people make when they don’t follow the official route.

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Michel de Certeau’s search for the murmuring of the mystical in secular society"

...

"The Czech poet and painter Josef Čapek, who was killed in Bergen-Belsen in 1945, described himself as a limping pilgrim “hobbling through the Gateway to Eternity.” Certeau—and Fern in Nomadland—could be described the same way. In his biography of Certeau, Françoise Dosse calls him “le marcheur blessé,” “the wounded walker.” 

Part of Certeau’s attraction to the Society of Jesus was that he wanted to be a missionary. He did travel widely, but his real wayfaring ended up being internal—an inner movement that could not be stilled or staunched. For Certeau, the transience of desire, including his own, cannot be pinned down but only attested to. We can only trace it in and through its various inscriptions and behaviors. The city may be mapped and its entrances and exits prescribed, but it can be walked in a million different ways. In his numerous and multifaceted investigations, Certeau traces the murmuring of a desire that no secularism can conceal or abrogate. This is the spiritual vision in his work that roamed and transgressed across anthropology, theology, history, sociology, psychoanalysis, ethnography, and what is now known as cultural studies.  

One can understand why Catholic theologians have paid him little attention. Though he wrote about the Church, the Eucharist, and even Christ, he had little interest in dogmatics, philosophical theology, moral theology, or ecclesiology. And his writing style can be forbidding, as we have seen. But beyond its eclecticism and difficulty, Certeau’s work may have been avoided by theologians because of a critical question it raises: To what extent are their theologies themselves “sociocultural productions” reacting to, rather than excavating, secularism? Certeau wants to ask of theology not whether its critique of secularism is right or wrong, but what fears and desires it is itself expressing.

Certeau invented interdisciplinary study before it was fashionable or even had a name. He recognized that the truly big questions—like what makes a belief believable or why one would believe anything—cannot be answered by any one intellectual discipline, including theology, with its siloed modes of inquiry and strictly policed faculty boundaries. And yet such questions tap into the very roots of any religious faith. Certeau was likely not surprised at theologians’ neglect of his work. He would have known from his reading of the mystics that the Church is always wary of lived experience and religious enthusiasm uncontainable by its boundaries."]]></description>

    <title>Why LA will never get a Mayor Zohran Mamdani - YouTube</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["With the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York City, big-city mayors have once again become a focal point of national politics. 

Now, in Los Angeles, the mayoral race in November is heating up with Councilmember Nithya Raman edging out reality TV star Spencer Pratt to secure her candidacy against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. And Raman, a Democratic Socialist like Mamdani, is zeroing in on housing and affordability as defining issues of local politics.

But beneath the promises to take on hot-button issues that plague Angelenos, a persistent question remains: Why can’t the LA mayor get anything done?

Part of the answer takes us back to the creation of the LA city charter, a product of the turn-of-the-20th-century progressive movement that emerged in response to the corrupt politics that plagued cities like New York and Chicago.

Despite the radical and experimental origins of LA’s decentralized governance approach, a weak mayoral office may no longer be the best way to serve the people of Los Angeles today. Even if LA elected a progressive, Mamdani-esque candidate, the mayor’s office still has an uphill battle with fragmentation and decades of mounting red tape designed to favor negotiators over visionaries for mayor.

https://autonomies.org/2025/12/josep-rafanell-i-orra-again-anarchism/ ]

"In December of 2025, a new journal appeared in France entitled À bas bruits [Under the Radar]. In the opening article of its first issue, Josep Rafanell i Orra argues that anarchism has always functioned as an escape route for communities fleeing the iron cage of society. Among the many competing conceptions of what an anarchist politics today could or should look like, Rafanell’s stance is anti-social, yet non-nihilist. On the one hand, he rejects as internalized domination any affirmation of the social identities thrust upon us by commodity society and the state. This rejection demands that we abandon any quest for hegemony within the so-called public sphere, which always devolves into a sad clamoring over credit within today’s “reputation economy.” It also entails a refusal of any model of organizing premised on the noisy self-promotion of entrepreneurs masquerading as political avant-guards. The light of the Spectacle only blinds, and never clarifies. This negativist posture is, however, counterbalanced by the author’s insistent affirmation of the experience of community, which he sees as overlapping worlds in a process of becoming. Offering the example of a longstanding experimental mutual aid project in a proletarian neighborhood of Paris, Rafanell envisions self-organization as the elaboration of insurgent environments and territories operating in the opaque zones of everyday life, whose mode of existence involves a continuous detachment from the policed premises of metropolitan society. Even in a major French city, he argues, anarchic forms are not primarily social in nature, but cosmological: what is in question is a tissue of attachments, practices of sharing and reciprocal encounter that give a common form to their environment, while remaining nonidentical with themselves. If there are ungovernable futures that lie ahead for us, insurrections still to come, they emerge from this "patchwork" of conflictual practices and bonds that inhabited cities foster. Rather than struggling for control over a hostile public sphere, which only destroys the spaces of community that matter the most, Rafanell calls us to produce an "archive of communal forms," a cartography of divergent, migratory potentials within the uncertain contours of everyday life. It is here that the ethical and the practical reunite, allowing mutual aid to engender combative conspiracies.

[original in French: https://abasbruit.org/2025/12/01/a-nouveau-lanarchisme-2/ ]

Let's start at the beginning — which is to say, from the middle. Take, for example, a neighborhood marked by exile, migration, and transience: early in the morning at the Jardin d'Éole in Paris’s 18th arrondissement, a plot of land fenced off by local authorities to prevent exhausted migrants — condemned to wandering the streets — from settling there, a space bordered by an urban farm with a handful of sheep to add an eco-friendly touch to this neighborhood where exiles loiter, but also crackheads wandering like zombies, both groups harassed by police evictions. There's also an annex to the Théâtre de la Villette, barricaded behind wire-mesh walls plastered with portraits purporting to represent "the neighborhood’s diversity,” a clumsy attempt to convey the cultural facility's integration into this working-class area. It's here, inside yet another fence, that migrants gather for breakfast. There stands a heavy Algeco prefab unit, its ugliness concealed as best as possible by a coat of paint. Inside, shelves are stocked with foodstuffs, hygiene products, along with a sink and a worktop with an electric hotplate. And then there's Latifa, in her fifties, in front of a large cooking pot, overseeing the meal preparation, surrounded by others preparing the breakfasts that will be served this morning. Outside, in the bitter February cold, under an insistent drizzle of rain, a group of Afghans are busy setting up tents under which the food distribution will take place. Young men and women from the neighborhood, members of various collectives, some traveling from a fair distance away, set about arranging the food, fruit, and thermoses of coffee and tea on the tables, donated by nearby businesses. The meal is served, and conversations begin among this small crowd of migrants, squatters, and volunteers. Someone turns on the speaker on their cell phone, and music from other worlds inspires a few impromptu dances. This has been going on for nearly a decade. A whole constellation of connections has taken root, built upon the palimpsest of the neighborhood's history, its struggles and solidarity, its tradition of mutual aid. But there remains a troubling asymmetry, the terrible risk of instituting the abjection of a charity system.

“The life of a neighborhood that remains vital consists of ‘influence peddling,’” as Isaac Joseph cleverly remarks in the preface to Ulf Hannerz's Exploring the City. It’s a composition of determinations that thwart preestablished social repertoires. Forms of community made breathable by the figure of the stranger, inscribed in the interstices of existential geographies. Ungovernable futures emerge from this stubborn weaving that forms a patchwork of relationships, affections, bonds, places, practices, forms of survival, conflicts, mutual aid and attentions — from which the shifting regimes of sensibility that make up the texture of an inhabited city emerge. There are always potential counter-cartographies that silently resist the suffocation of administered and policed space. And there lie new forms of knowledge that our investigations can bring to light, if we cross the thresholds between disparate worlds. Knowledge that’s not about identities and their representations, but about modes of experiencing existence, where attachments and interdependencies form despite adversity. And where, sometimes, suddenly, an uprising bursts forth with brilliance.

If we speak of knowledge here, it’s a migratory knowledge that is in question.1 The kind that emerges within constantly shifting borders: a "mosaic of small worlds," where the transitions from one world to another unravel the social totality. A “society of societies," as Landauer put it; the resurgence of the community that slumbers within the enclosures of the social body, with its assignments and its subjects. It is the pornography of representation that is thus conjured. It is the imagination that is thus revitalized. For what is imagination, if not the experience of becoming-other, of metamorphoses, undoing identity to and for oneself, when we encounter those who make us strangers to ourselves? What an inestimable advantage it is to be able to become strangers in this world, overrun as it is by the frenzied proliferation of connections between atomized selves, where the overexposure of images rests on the negation of presence, annihilating the experience of sharing that brings spaces of community into being, the ethopoïetics of living worlds.

In these worlds still taking form, if we choose to engage with them, it’s always a matter of bringing them to life — a place where we can forge a soul through encounters with other souls. But to do so, we must twist free from the detestable familiarity imposed by representation, which hinders the becoming of what we are not yet.

To avoid ceding our world to representable subjects, we must break loose from the clutches of identity. Disidentification becomes the condition for a community in which we can become an “ambulant people of relayers,” as Deleuze and Guattari put it.2

Deleuze and Guattari also warn us: when thought draws its form from the model of the state, it remains captive to the two poles of the foundation of its sovereignty — poles that might appear to be in tension, but are in fact complementary: mythos, the archaic foundation that operates through magical capture; and the pact or contract between "reasonable people," that is, those subject to the rationality of the state ("always obey, for the more you obey, the more you will be masters..."). This is a kind of fascism that lies dormant. Yet neither pole can exist without an "outside" traversed by nomadic thoughts that disperse the two universals: that of totalization as the horizon of being, and that of the Subject as the condition for subjugation (or the "being-for-us" of the social contract).

But there are also other beginnings to be found, the emergence of other times that drift off course. Such was the case with the Yellow Vests uprising, during the hundreds of blockades across France. Those moments when countless occupied roundabouts became wild assemblies where people gathered, shared stories, built narratives and shelters, aided one another, and hatched conspiracies.

December 1, 2018: as in the weeks before and after, tens of thousands of people descend upon the capital's affluent neighborhoods. By early morning, a myriad of gatherings formed. The same was true in dozens of other cities, with no organization having issued any instructions other than a surge of haphazard calls that spread like wildfire. The Champs-Élysées drew jubilant crowds. Luxury stores are looted; burning barricades punctuate the unplanned wanderings. At times people stroll, other times racing frantically, facing or fleeing police charges amid air saturated with tear gas and the deafening explosion of stun grenades and flash-ball rounds. People chat, tell stories, sing, shout; jokes fly; thousands of graffitis offer a visual record of this tidal wave. The Arc de Triomphe is ransacked. Elsewhere, everywhere, buildings are attacked, set on fire, looted: prefectures, toll booths, gendarmerie stations, stores and supermarkets... During this insurrectionary movement, which lasted several months, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition were fired at protesters and rioters. The number of people maimed by police weapons steadily rose. In Marseille, Zineb Redouane, an 80-year-old woman, was killed by CRS officers3 when a grenade struck her in the face. Since then, as we know, the embers have not gone out; the riot lies dormant. It could flare up at any moment, as it did in the summer of 2023 following the police murder of Nahel Merzouk. Or in New Caledonia, where a recent uprising resulted in the murder of at least ten Kanaks.

Neo-fascism. Liberal-fascism. Capitalo-fascism. Techno-feudalism. Cyberfascism... The semantic field keeps expanding, as it struggles to respond to growing disbelief concerning the upheavals plunging our world into a monstrous cacophony, and the sensational stunts and brutal eccentricity of the figureheads who reign supreme on the stages of power. There are, of course, national atavisms that give these new fascisms their unique character; but the fact remains that the logics of destruction, on every latitude, carry with them forms of homogenization — a new contract, neatly summarized by the word "occupation.” The absolute occupation of the Earth by commodities destroys the many singular ways of inhabiting it; but so does the occupation of souls, which turns them into beings preoccupied with themselves, captive to a mad restlessness.

There's no doubt that our epoch is adept at prolonging its terminal phase. In the liberal world, the social contract has been hacked by socio-technical mechanisms, while the neo-Nazis at the helm attempt to revive a phantasmal archē. The international legal order has become the mop with which we no longer even bother to clean the floor where the slaughtered lie. The old coordinates of political discourse, the orderly conventions of the public communication regime are collapsing. Have we not heard that the Gaza Strip, transformed into a field of ruins by heavily armed psychopaths, after the tens of thousands of people massacred, after the impending deportation of its inhabitants, could be transformed into an amusement park, a new investment plan for a deranged planetary bourgeoisie?

Masses of atomized people are falling prey to identity-based consolidations across the globalized world. Even the French Socialist Party, never one to shy away from disgrace, not long ago proposed to debate the identity of the French people. The old antagonisms, driven by a class-based subject and capable of instituting divisions, have evaporated; this, despite the self-proclaimed emancipators who wriggle around in their media jars, stubbornly imposing their fantasized narratives upon a devastated social landscape in a desperate attempt to remain relevant. But in the game of propaganda, cybernetic fascism will always have the upper hand, from here on out. A word to neo-leftists: it's a lost cause to try to compete with Elon Musk and his cronies in the flashy terrain of representation, via digital platforms, the new demented polis where recognitive processes play out, absorbed by the predatory logics of a reputation market.

It might be that the political arena always carried within it the seeds of its own decay. That the Greek polis was, from its very origins, haunted by predators — those "programmed citizens," as Marcel Detienne tells us in The Gods of Orpheus, "trained to kill one another around their bloody altars." Today, the demos, with its sacrificial altars, unfolds behind a mesmerizing touchscreen in the mad rush for followers, in practices of seduction that perforate fragments of public space, that purport to be political but ultimately do nothing but contribute to a universal isolation. An absolutist realm of a politics of communication, a metapolitics that assassinates language and presence, with its zones of opacity. In their obsession with mimetic communication, the new leftists thus condemn themselves to abandoning the realms where the languages of the people, those of the community, unfold — "all that shadow, that sense of indeterminacy and nuance, that kind of thrill that can only be expressed in the language of the people and the language of the heart.”4 With all due respect to the neo-Bolshevik apparatchiks, community can only exist if it is pluralistic. 

We must break free from the presentism imposed by governmentality, with its projections toward a future that is already present. The bankrupt projections of the decrepit and crumbling institutions of the State, the failures of planning, have been replaced by those of algorithmic machines that depopulate the world, transforming it into a monstrous trash heap where clichés pile sky high. We must break free from the prison of what is, to rediscover what differs. And in doing so, to venture into "the border of time that surrounds our presence, which overhangs it, and which indicates it in its otherness,” where untimely becomings are born that dispel the identity "in which we are pleased to look at ourselves."5

Forms of life become anarchic modes of existence when they cease to claim their foundation, when they refuse the deterministic chain of causes and effects and no longer take pleasure in the morbid circularity of their status as the dominated — in sum, when they confront their dispossession, and thus venture into the transitional zones of experience between beings, where what is proper to them — their relational properties — becomes singular, and where regions of sensibility are established during encounters that allow a multiplicity of times to be woven anew.

We need an archive of communal forms wherein ways of being intertwine, interdependencies that alone will enable us to escape the epoch of vectorized disaster. How can we make their legacy possible? How can we gather up the traces of things that were unable to take shape, of what might have been — building, where possible, upon the wake of what was, in order to rediscover its virtuality? To remain awake, despite the blindness induced by an excess of light projected onto the world, which makes us close our eyes. Jean-Christophe Bailly evokes these singular cartographies — partly erased, partly to come — that emerge when we look at a gaze. Here is where community is established: a "community of gazers" whose gazes bring fragments of the world into being, inviting us to cross boundaries — beginning with the boundaries of the self — and engage in the becoming of what we are not yet. As old as revolutionary thought itself, the world's untimely and radical plurality can resurface if we pay attention to it, if we take care of it. But these lines of plural time, with their bifurcations that bring singular living environments into being, are not simply given to us: they are to be created. It's this work, forever unfinished, that we call (once again) anarchism. A relation to the world, between beings, that draw neither an origin nor a commandment from any reason that precedes us. The actualization of revolutionary virtualities today, as it was in the past, depends upon gestures of desertion from what the machinery of government aims to consign us to: the identity of our status as subjects.

Resurgences and insurgencies once again begin to take shape. This has been the story of anarchism, whose eruptions have pierced the flow of time and ushered in new beginnings. But it is also the story of the slowness of communal forms, of transmission, of bonds created sparingly against the ruthless socialized brutality that tends only toward atomization and obedience. We must test out the means at our disposal to inherit this legacy, in an era where the Earth's habitability itself stands in danger. We affirm that anarchic forms of life will no longer be social. They will instead be cosmological: populated by an infinite variety of beings and environments. Inhabited by strangers and foreigners [des étrangers], emigrants who carry with them a plurality of worlds populated by forms of other-being that subvert the reproduction of the same. It's in the half-light of shadows, far from the clarity claimed by our representatives, with their catechisms and clichés, that new ways of relating, new sensibilities, are born.

    My sense is that true struggles are always struggles with the shadow. There are no other struggles than the struggle with the shadow. Clichés abound. They are everywhere, in my head, within me.6

In 1919, the year Landauer was brutally murdered, Martin Buber, in an essay on community, recalled the words of Ferdinand Tönnies, invoked to acknowledge the death of culture — a culture that had succumbed to the combined effects of commodity exchange and state apparatuses, leading to industrialized massacres. But he also spoke of his hope: that of a new culture quietly blossoming from the scattered seeds of community — buried, but still alive. Here we are, once again: cultivating this quietness. The chatter about monumental social theories is over. We want nothing to do with the noisy scenes of the avant-garde that political entrepreneurs seek to resurrect. We want to cultivate attention toward the vulnerable experience of community that resides in ordinary, shifting worlds that cannot be represented. And it is in this experience, through presence, sharing, mutual aid, and pooling our resources, that we will bring to life places worth inhabiting.

Community is not about exceptionalism; it is a web of connections that can be fully lived out only in ordinary worlds. But it is also about hospitality: welcoming the anomalous, the irregular, the foreign, and that which makes it different. How could we fail to notice the shared commitment that keeps an exhausted medical team going after a night spent in the emergency room of a hospital in Seine-Saint-Denis? Or the caregiver who, having fled a blood-soaked Haiti and after ten years of struggling to obtain her papers, cares for the elderly at the end of their lives in a nursing home run by a mafia that contributes to the CAC 40?7 Or to the child shattered by domestic violence who mobilizes a small crowd of social workers baffled by her strange trance-like seizures? Or to those eccentric madmen who wander the city, having escaped the clutches of the psychiatric system? Or to that Kabyle bar on the corner of a street in my neighborhood, where a silent old man, with long white hair and the air of a prophet, has found a place to live — a substitute for a psychiatric institution that would have confined him to his status as a schizophrenic, deadening him with antipsychotics?

We must bear witness to the worlds that allow us to begin "reclaiming our relationships" (Landauer), precisely so as to "seize hold of something external and foreign" (William James). We must pay attention to what diverges within the uncertain contours of everyday life: it is here that we find the migratory potentials that form the backdrop to insurrections.

It's not a matter of invoking a mystique of community, but rather the power of generative bonds in place of the social reproduction of atomized subjects. It's about convening hospitable communities, caring for vulnerability, and cultivating an attention to what makes them different — communities that flee and ward off the social cages into which we are meant to be confined. In anarchic landscapes, alliances can form without any condition of identity. Differences communicate with one another through differences of differences, as Deleuze says. "Crowned anarchies are substituted for the hierarchies of representation; nomadic distributions for the sedentary distributions of representation."8 Cultivating relationships with otherness means learning that others always have their own others. That our here will always have its own elsewheres, with their own elsewheres. And so on...

This is how open communities are born, rendering the world habitable.

    Anarchy, however, is neither as easily achievable, nor as morally harsh, nor as clearly defined as these anarchists would have it. Only when anarchy becomes, for us, a dark, deep dream, not a vision attainable through concepts, can our ethics and our actions become one.9

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Hanif Abdurraqib returns to the show to talk about his new project, the video podcast 'Living For The City' with season one focused on Detroit. We'll talk about some of the dynamics Hanif examines in the new series, including how the working class has found time to make such globally influential music, how gentrification impacts artists and musicians, and more.

Living For the City:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsjRzm4m1SLECMzBb96XQLA

As the podcast's description notes, "Before Detroit gave the world Motown, techno, and hip-hop, it gave the world something harder to name: a feeling that music made in basements and backrooms and borrowed spaces could become the soundtrack to an entire generation." 

"The full arc of how one city became the unlikely origin point for some of the most influential music ever made, told by the people who were actually there."

Hanif Abdurraqib is a poet, essayist, and cultural critic from Columbus, Ohio. His bestselling and award-winning books include Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest, They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, A Little Devil in America: In Praise of Black Performance, and There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension, and poetry collections A Fortune for your Disaster and The Crown Ain’t Worth Much."]]></description>

That is the story Living for the City is here to tell, and nobody alive is better equipped to tell it than Hanif Abdurraqib.

MacArthur Fellow. New York Times bestselling author. Hanif brings his singular voice to a new video podcast series that goes inside the streets, venues, and neighborhoods where iconic sounds are born, talking with the artists, DJs, producers, and community architects who built these movements from the ground up.

Season One is Detroit. Eight episodes. The full arc of how one city became the unlikely origin point for some of the most influential music ever made, told by the people who were actually there. This is not a music history lesson. This is a front-row seat to the moments that mattered.

Living for the City premieres May 13th."

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["What is Tactical Urbanism?

Pedestrian Plazas. Parklets. Pop-up Bike Lanes.

Whether you live in a community large or small, you’ve likely seen it for yourself. Cities around the world are using flexible and short-term projects to advance long-term goals related to street safety, public space, and more.

Tactical Urbanism is all about action. Also known as DIY Urbanism, Planning-by-Doing, Urban Acupuncture, or Urban Prototyping, this approach refers to a city, organizational, and/or citizen-led approach to neighborhood building using short-term, low-cost, and scalable interventions to catalyze long-term change.

Examples include highly-visible and formalized efforts, such as New York’s Plaza Program, or smaller-scale “demonstration projects” (typically lasting 1 to 7 days). Tactical Urbanism projects can be led by governments, non-profits, grassroots groups, or frustrated residents. Though the degree of formality may vary, Tactical Urbanism projects share common goal of using low-cost materials to experiment with and gather input on potential street design changes.

Over the past decade Tactical Urbanism has become an international movement, bringing about a profound shift in how communities think about project development and delivery.

Tactical Urbanist's Guide to Materials and Design

Government agencies and advocacy organizations have produced many useful documents exploring case studies or providing guidance about how an iterative approach can be applied to planning and design projects. Our team at The Street Plans Collaborative has worked with partners to produce numerous open-source documents with Tactical Urbanism case studies, and our book Tactical Urbanism: Short-term Action for Long-term Change (2015, Island Press) includes a “How-to” chapter with high level guidance on how to approach a Tactical Urbanism project.

As Tactical Urbanism researchers and practitioners, our team saw the increasing need for more guidance about design, materials, and process for both citizen and city-led projects. In response to this need, we released a new open-source resource in 2016: the Tactical Urbanist’s Guide to Materials and Design. Undertaken with funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Tactical Urbanist’s Guide to Materials and Design aims to share the best of what the community has learned about materials and design through real-world testing. Importantly, the Guide recognizes that the absence of formalized design guidelines has contributed to a high level of innovation around materials for Tactical Urbanism projects - we hope that this new resource provides a snapshot of innovation to date, and encourages more!

This Website

This website is intended to serve as a hub of information about Tactical Urbanism, focusing on the information from the Tactical Urbanist's Guide to Materials and Design, and highlighting additional resources by Street Plans and other partners.

    <title>Save the Taxi Drivers - The Atlantic</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["People Who Don’t Like People Are Making All of Our Decisions: Robotaxis are the beginning."

[archived: https://archive.is/fBr8e ]

"In the beginning, God created Man and Man created cities. And from these cities sprang forth a service to cart Man around: the taxi. And it was good. So good that, over centuries, it barely changed. Visitors to ancient Rome could hail a cisium. In 17th-century France, they could take a fiacre. And 19th-century England had the hackney coach. Automobiles eventually replaced horse-drawn carriages, but other than that, the experience remained the same: Passengers hailed a driver who would help them load their luggage and perhaps make small talk about the city while ferrying them to their destination.

Then, in 2009, Man made the ride-share app. And it was very good. Many of the nuisances of taxis that had seemed unavoidable were eliminated overnight. Waiting in the cold with your hand in the air scanning for available cabs? Drivers refusing to take you somewhere after you’d already gotten in their vehicle? Cabs refusing to stop because of your race? Losing items, never to see them again? All problems that were gladly ushered into the past. The act of schlepping around a city was changed forever.

Ride-sharing has its own flaws: surge pricing in inclement weather, incessant rate hikes, late or canceled rides. But in all of the ways I’ve imagined improving upon the modern taxi, eliminating drivers themselves has never crossed my mind. And yet, the powerful minds of Silicon Valley and the investors who fund them are trying to do just that.

Earlier this year, Tesla, which already has a driverless-taxi service, announced that its Gigafactory in Texas would begin producing robotaxis devoid of steering wheels or pedals. Waymo, the Alphabet-owned driverless-taxi service that launched commercially in 2020, recently raised $16 billion, and plans to expand into more than 20 cities. In November, Los Angeles and San Francisco, where Waymos were already operating, started allowing the vehicles to travel on highways and to certain airports. Waymo now has its sights set on America’s taxi mecca: New York City.

The pitch for driverless taxis follows the familiar contours of many of Silicon Valley’s recent technological advances: We should all be excited about a “dream” from the future finally being realized. The thrill of inevitable progress! A safer, easier tomorrow!

Driverless taxis are the next step toward tech’s hopes for broad adoption of driverless cars in general. Uri Levine, a co-founder of Waze, predicts that Generation Beta will not drive. “A generation after that,” he told Business Insider, if you tell a young person “that you used to drive cars yourself, they will not believe you.” One of the arguments for self-driving cars is that they would be free of the human errors that lead to crashes. “It’s going to be such a great technology,” Sebastian Thrun, the roboticist and former head of Google’s self-driving project, said recently. “Think of the 1.2 million lives we lose each year (to car crashes), mostly because they’re not paying attention. Think if we could get some of those lives back.”

That number is correct. But that figure is global, and more than 90 percent of the fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries (ones that are not part of Waymo’s or Tesla’s expansion plans). Trade organizations such as the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association, which advocates for “the safe and timely deployment of autonomous driving technology,” insist that driverless cars will save lives. But groups such as the Union of Concerned Scientists are more skeptical, pointing out that “studies have shown that automated vehicles are less able to detect people of color and children.” They also worry that the cars could “displace millions of people employed as drivers, negatively impact public transportation funding, and perpetuate the current transportation system’s injustices.”

More certain than safety are profits. When companies talk about safety, it’s not just because they care about people, but because they want to sell their product. Self-driving cars are projected to be an $87 billion industry by 2030. And the robotic “passenger economy,” which includes driverless taxis and robot deliveries, could generate as much as $7 trillion by 2050.

Chances are slim that the average American will benefit much financially from any of that money. But we will lose something, as Big Tech yet again destroys human interaction and calls it “convenience.”

Most of us live in silos, clustered together with people whose jobs, educations, incomes, languages, and faiths are similar to or the same as our own. We have few occasions to brush against other ways of living, few ways to interact with people of different backgrounds. These moments are meaningful and rare, and the taxi cab is one place where they regularly happen.

Every new city that I visit comes with a personalized introduction from a taxi driver. Like the guy who used to do stunts in Hollywood and now has to pick up shifts driving cabs who regaled me with tales of stars and action movies in a more flush time in Los Angeles. Or the 60-something Navy vet who took up driving after his restaurants closed during the pandemic. He drove me to the airport in Pittsburgh and told me about having recently connected with a son he never knew he had, who’d found him on Ancestry.com. Or the young driver from Pakistan who was nervously preparing for his upcoming wedding. He got some free advice, as well as a nice tip.

Many of these drivers are immigrants. Many are people whom the economy has left behind—people who started driving to supplement day jobs and struggling businesses, or because they’re juggling caregiving responsibilities. Perhaps, Big Tech thinks that riders won’t miss them when they’re gone. Drivers can be annoying. They can talk too much. They can play music you don’t like. But they can also be generous and kind and surprising. Human interaction, imperfect as it is, is what makes us human.

And maybe that’s the problem for the titans of Silicon Valley. Compared with robots, humans take a lot of effort. “I cannot imagine having gone through figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT,” Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, said recently. Artisan, an AI start-up, advertises its services with the explicit slogan “Stop Hiring Humans.” We are living in the ultimate revenge of the nerds, driven by a crew of socially awkward tech bros who won’t stop until the society that they never quite fit into is obliterated.

Do we want these people dictating profound changes in our society? Technology advances, in part, because a small number of entrepreneurs or scientists get really hyped about something, and another small number of investors gets even more hyped about the massive financial opportunities that development represents. But the rest of us do have a say: We have a choice as to whether we want to adopt that technology or not. We can consider our preferences, and the long-term societal implications. We can resist the old-fashioned corporate greed that gets wrapped in the language of pro-humanistic societal advancement and care.

For two decades, I have watched us blindly fall for one sales pitch after another. Every app and advancement comes shrouded in promises of “progress” and “connectivity” and “convenience.” And in many early cases—such as the invention of ride-sharing apps—Silicon Valley truly did deliver a better mousetrap. But we’re getting diminishing returns. We are living in Silicon Valley’s future now, and we are lonelier, more anxious, and more polarized than ever before. Are the mousetraps better? Safer? Who knows. But the mice inside are miserable."]]></description>

    <title>Why pedestrian deaths are falling in the US — and why walking is still so dangerous | Vox</title>
    <dc:date>2026-04-29T05:23:26+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/486864/pedestrian-deaths-decrease-walking-car-safety</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["One reason cars kill so many people in the US is because we drive so much. Large steel boxes traveling at 50 miles per hour are inherently dangerous, and when we build a transportation system that prioritizes the rapid movement of cars and marginalizes other forms of getting around, we should not be surprised when the results are very deadly. But during the pandemic, something unexpected happened: total driving across the country dipped, but we saw a spike in crash deaths. Overall car fatalities increased by 7 percent in 2020 and another 11 percent in 2021, and pedestrian deaths similarly shot up.

The most widely accepted theory for why this happened is that in normal periods, routine traffic congestion slows cars down. But without road congestion during Covid, it suddenly became possible for drivers to go really fast and cause more fatal crashes — a shift that was enabled by the very design of roads in the US. That emptier roads so easily turned into deadlier ones displayed some of the fundamental flaws in the American approach to transportation: The same fatality spikes generally didn’t happen in peer countries, which had been prioritizing road safety in the decades prior, particularly the safety of people outside cars, and took steps to slow traffic on their roads because speed is the central variable that makes crashes deadly. They lowered speed limits and, to ensure the new speed limits were actually followed, embraced traffic calming measures like narrower roads to make speeding physically infeasible.

In the 2010s, many US cities took up Vision Zero, a campaign to eliminate traffic deaths that was originally conceived in Europe in the 1990s. It rejects the premise that deaths by car cannot be avoided, and emphasizes designing transportation systems where people don’t encounter conditions in which someone’s split-second mistake can easily turn fatal. But Vision Zero’s implementation has largely been regarded as a failure in America, in part because it is so hard to get the public to accept changes to road design that inconvenience cars. Traffic enforcement cameras also make a significant difference in deterring speeding in countries where they’re widely implemented, but in the US, they’re culturally anathema and in some places are even banned at the state level."]]></description>

Not in cartographic terms, from above, but from the ground up – walking it, thinking it, writing it? Like the many European writers, artists, philosophers who came to London over the centuries and wrote about it, who wrote themselves into the city’s memory and who, in return, were shaped (written upon?) by the city. Who makes the city? Uta Staiger critically and playfully maps an answer to these questions, wandering and meandering, physically and philosophically, taking us with her."]]></description>

Deirdre Heddon, Stephanie Springgay & Harry Wilson

<blockquote>The dynamic relationships between walking, performance and performativity are long-standing, from psychogeographic drifts which trace capitalism's appropriations and productions of place, to protest marches which mobilize demands for justice; from ceremonial walks as memorialisations of place, to (mis)guided tours which rewrite partial histories; from attentive walking as ways of knowing and feeling differently, to technologically-enhanced walking performances that take the city as their stage. Across a number of years, Research in Drama Education has published a wide range of essays which focus on walking. Given the increasing visibility of walking as a field of practice and the vitality of interdisciplinary scholarship which centres walking, a dedicated edition on the subject felt overdue. As the pieces shared in this edition demonstrate, walking as a mobile, situated and relational method of applied critical practice harbours exploration, criticality, and activism.</blockquote>

    <title>Hinterland: America’s New Landscape of Class and Conflict, by Phil A. Neel (2018)</title>
    <dc:date>2026-04-05T06:04:17+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Over the last forty years, the human landscape of the United States has been fundamentally transformed. The metamorphosis is partially visible in the ascendance of glittering, coastal hubs for finance, infotech, and the so-called creative class. But this is only the tip of an economic iceberg, the bulk of which lies in the darkness of the declining heartland or on the dimly lit fringe of sprawling cities. This is America’s hinterland, populated by towering grain threshers and hunched farmworkers, where laborers drawn from every corner of the world crowd into factories and “fulfillment centers” and where cold storage trailers are filled with fentanyl-bloated corpses when the morgues cannot contain the dead.

Urgent and unsparing, this book opens our eyes to America’s new heart of darkness. Driven by an ever-expanding socioeconomic crisis, America’s class structure is recomposing itself in new geographies of race, poverty, and production. The center has fallen. Riots ricochet from city to city led by no one in particular. Anarchists smash financial centers as a resurgent far right builds power in the countryside. Drawing on his direct experience of recent popular unrest, from the Occupy movement to the wave of riots and blockades that began in Ferguson, Missouri, Phil A. Neel provides a close-up view of this landscape in all its grim but captivating detail. Inaugurating the new Field Notes series, published in association with the Brooklyn Rail, Neel’s book tells the intimate story of a life lived within America’s hinterland."]]></description>

    <title>Millennials Are Killing Capitalism: The Revolt Eclipses Whatever The World Has to Offer with Idris Robinson</title>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In this episode, we are joined by Idris Robinson to unpack his book, The Revolt Eclipses Whatever the World Has to Offer [https://massivebookshop.com/products/9781635902433?_pos=1&_sid=db620e222&_ss=r ], a searing meditation on race, revolt, civil war, and the psychic wreckage of American life.

Reflecting on the 2020 uprisings, Robinson challenges the myth of Black leadership, reframes racial violence through the lens of a “morbid libidinal economy,” and argues that revolution is as much a transformation of the human spirit as it is a political event. Drawing on the legacies of Black insurgency, Robinson interrogates liberalism, identity politics, and the hollowing out of American cities—while pondering on what it would take to make life human again in a society built to dehumanize. He argues that racial violence, especially spectacular acts of white supremacist brutality. cannot be adequately explained by frameworks like identity politics, intersectionality, or privilege theory. Instead, these acts emerge from repressed desires and psychic forces intrinsic to white supremacy. The 2020 uprisings, in this sense, exposed both emancipatory and repressive violence rooted in these deeper libidinal dynamics.

Robinson also reflects on his personal trajectory, from Occupy Wall Street through development as a theorist, where he grounds his meditation on revolt as humanizing forces. He argues that American capitalism produces profound isolation, psychic damage, and undead social beings, hollowed out by commodification. Uprisings momentarily restore humanity by breaking atomization and re‑creating collective meaning.
 
On strategy, Robinson challenges traditional socialist models of seizing the “means of production,” arguing instead that modern revolt must focus on logistics and infrastructure: transport hubs, electrical grids, supply chains, and urban circulation. He emphasizes blockades, control of space, and understanding the built environment as key to sustaining insurrection in a post‑industrial economy. We devote substantial attention to Robinson’s provocative argument that civil war is not a future possibility but a current condition in the United States. Drawing on classical theory, Black radical thought, and historical analogy, he frames civil war as the collision of public (political) and private (libidinal, racial, familial) spheres. While acknowledging its violence and trauma, Robinson argues that fracture and decentralization may paradoxically make revolutionary transformation more achievable, pointing to Reconstruction after the U.S. Civil War as the most emancipatory period in American history.

Idris Robinson is a philosopher from the New York hinterlands. For over a decade, he has written extensively on crisis and revolt. He is the author of The Revolt Eclipses Whatever the World Has to Offer (MIT Press / Semiotext(e)) and Escritos desde la tierra baldía (Irrupción Ediciones). He is currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Texas State University, where he is completing a monograph-length study on the progression of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy. He is currently undergoing a legal battle with TSU after the school violated his constitutional rights by ending his contract after he gave an off-campus Pro-Palestine talk [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/25/professor-texas-state-university-israel-palestine ].

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Closing thoughts

So where is the megacity? We have a few rough answers we can offer.

First, the tech economy has no real interest in producing one. The core products have a great deal of physical production offshored and minimal labor requirements relative to wealth generated. When labor-intensive physical production was at home, firms fouled the earth with reckless abandon (visit your local Bay Area Superfund site to get a peek). Benefits are largely limited to a small and narrow technical elite, as well as the financiers behind them, and no amount of housing construction will do anything to change that structural relationship. In the Midwest booms, prosperity was distributed by working in the booming industry itself, not adjacent to it. It’s not clear what, if anything, trickle-down economics—rebranded by consuming in the shadow of Silicon Valley’s mountains of treasure—will do for the masses of workers. What’s a slightly higher nominal wage when the tech boom itself is driving up the cost of living aggressively? In today’s Bay Area, a janitor is precariously housed, systematically disempowered, cut off from any meaningful decisions about their workplace or political order. In tomorrow’s megacity, a janitor will be precariously housed, systematically disempowered, cut off from any meaningful decisions about their workplace or political order.

The second answer is that there’s a superficial understanding of the historical models offered as alternatives to learn from. The Midwest boom shared prosperity through organized labor struggling politically and exercising structural leverage within a national economy that immobilized capital. And even that era, hailed as a golden age by many, was racially exclusionary and viciously contested at every single step. The Bay Area’s own earlier boom was organized around extraction and concentrated wealth spooling out of the Gold Rush through the railroad era right to today’s military-industrial complex (and Silicon Valley’s committed re-engagement with it). Is the dream of a billion skyscrapers on John C Frémont’s golden horns a stillborn one? It’s better to say it’s one that comes with a fever—a delusion entertained by projecting hallucinations onto reality. Not to say we shouldn’t desire a megacity, but that we should think a bit more seriously about why one never existed so we can actually work towards creating one (and figuring out what that entails).

And a third answer: megacities do exist! They were built by developmental states wielding tools like massive public housing provision, state-directed industrial policy, public control of land and credit, and putting the fear of god into a few capitalists here and there so that they ignore the devil on their shoulder (profit-seeking). Can we import policy templates from Singapore or Seoul in hopes of building a megacity? Perhaps. Some of Vivek Chibber’s arguments in essay and book form offer a look at part of the problem here: the conditions which enabled successful industrial transformations (state capacity to discipline capital, bureaucratic autonomy from private interests, etc.) should be understood as specific historical achievements—political settlements that were struggled for, not developments that emerged from letting the private sector do the right thing. We understand this when it comes to developing some of the industrial titans of today (such as Huawei and TSMC) but, for some reason, applying this idea to urban development is treated as suspect at best. Though, of course, the reason is clear, isn’t it? State capacity at the scale necessary to twist capital’s arm is state capacity in position to (and mobilized by an ideological project that) may have funny ideas about property rights, capital mobility, state-run enterprises, competition, the political power of the tech or real estate sector, and so on. At that point, the question shifts from “how do we build more housing?” to “what kind of political power would be necessary to organize the economy’s relationship to land, labor, capital, surplus, prices, and so on?” Some may be uninterested in the latter, some may even view entertaining such questions as squandering opportunities to craft their own version of positive class compromise (to make building more housing in everyone’s interests) because it puts various political actors on high alert—and I’m sure this is true in some instances, but so be it!

I’m skeptical of the idea that booms are always healthy, always distributional in a way that benefits everyone, and easily remedied by policy if for some reason this isn’t the case. I think it’s clear even a cursory glance at the history, economics, politics at play here supports that skepticism."]]></description>

Carolyn Birdsall, Linda Kopitz and Alex Gekker, Playable Cities: An Introduction
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/playable-cities-intro/

The city is a playground. But is it really? This introduction to the Playable Cities dossier discusses how cities are built, how cities are navigated, and how cities are resisted with and through play.

https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/urban-investors/

Alison Stenning, When Cities Aren’t Playable: Placing Children’s Play in Urban Environments
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/cities-playable/

Contrasting the visibility of playful art installations with a decline in funding for public infrastructures, Alison Stenning discusses how playability of ordinary urban environments is often ignored, devalued and undermined in urban planning.

https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/colorful-play/

From playable to instagrammable: Paul O’Connor, Julian Mcallister Groves, Yingxin Du and Tina Sze Nga Ho trace the ‘colorful’ history of the Choi Hung Public housing estate, and what that might mean for its future.

Laura Vermeeren, Babyccinos and Reel Making: Who Is Really Playing?
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/babyccinos/

A children’s menu, a play kitchen, a coloring book: Is that what makes a space #kidsproof? Laura Vermeeren explores how Instagram’s aestheticized content increasingly shapes what family leisure in the city should look like.

Conor Moloney, Beyond Nice: Mediating Urban Life through Play and Counter-play
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/beyond-nice/

Are we playing … or are we being played? In this conceptual contribution, Conor Moloney maps the tensions between public and counterpublic, culture and counterculture, play and counterplay in relation to urban experience.

Photini Vrikki and Giota Alevizou, Framing London: Vernacular Photography and the Playable City in Student Life
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/framing-london/

Seeing and knowing a city are not necessarily the same: based on an interactive workshop with international students in London, Photini Vrikki and Giota Alevizou position photographic practices as a critical part of urban play.

Hsin Hsieh, Too Rich City: A Sinofuturist Playground
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/too-rich-city/

The artwork Too Rich City transforms China’s housing crisis into a virtual playground, where NFT properties and augmented reality offer young people alternative forms of urban belonging. Hsin Hsieh both embraces and critiques this artwork.

https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/defamiliarizing-city/

Play activates our imagination, but it can also fall short in fostering real change. Radmila Radojevic, Simeona Petkova and Núria Arbonés Aran reflect on this tension in relation to rapidly changing neighborhoods.

Christoph Borbach and Max Kanderske, Playful Resistance: The Politics of Sensor Counter-Practices in Urban Technospheres
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/playful-resistance/

Connor Cook, Gamespace Odyssey: Notes on the Procedural Transformation of Athens
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/gamespace-odyssey/

Games and cities are shaped by protocols and procedures. Drawing on the concept of ‘Gamespace,’ Connor Cook discusses how gamic principles are applied to urban planning and how these might be playfully resisted in turn.

Sam Hind, Playing Domains: Codes, Cities, and Cultures in the Viral World of Machine Learning
https://www.mediapolisjournal.com/2025/11/playing-domains/

Our cities are changing. Global real estate is now a $217 trillion dollar industry, 36 times the value of all the gold ever mined. It makes up 60 percent of the world's assets, and the most powerful person in the world – the president of the United States – made his name as a landlord and real estate developer.

As Samuel Stein makes clear in this tightly argued book, its through seemingly innocuous profession of city planners that we can best understand the transformations underway. Planners provide a window into the practical dynamics of urban change: the way the state uses and is used by organized capital, and the power of landlords and developers at every level of government. But crucially, planners also possess some of the powers we must leverage if we ever wish to reclaim our cities from real estate capital."]]></description>

That's why I spent the past several months researching the most utopian cities of the past century. Turns out: Companies have built more beautiful cities than Hong Kong. Investors have funded a better quality of life than Shenzhen. Islands and counties have carved out autonomy for residents, not governments. Tribes are building more prosperous cities than Próspera.

The city of the future shouldn't just build skyscrapers and GDP. It should build utopia.

    <title>The Scottish island that bought itself - by Elle Griffin</title>

    <link>https://www.elysian.press/p/the-scottish-island-that-bought-itself</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["100 residents now own the island they live on—not some billionaire."

...

"In 1997, 65 people living on the Scottish island of Eigg purchased the island together.

For centuries, the island had been owned by landlords who didn’t live on the island, much less invest in its improvement. Rents were extracted, infrastructure decayed, populations collapsed. Residents relied on diesel generators and fuel shipped in from the mainland, which made energy expensive and unreliable.

When a wealthy artist bought the island as his own personal lifestyle retreat in the 1980s, that was the final straw. He refused to improve roads and infrastructure and tried to evict the island’s residents when they objected.

Islanders united against him, so did the press and media, and wider public opinion. Scottish authorities intervened, stopping the island’s owner from evicting residents and forcing him to provide at least minimum habitability. Meanwhile, the owner struggled financially and was forced to put the island up for sale in 1997. By then, the island had organized, raised public and charitable funding, and formed the Eigg Heritage Trust, which purchased the island on behalf of residents.

Islanders bought the island they lived on.

And the trust formed a micro government.

To this day, the trust is run by three entities: The Isle of Eigg Residents Association (representing island residents), the Highland Council (representing the local government), and the Scottish Wildlife Trust (which ensures long-term environmental stewardship of the island). Board members are appointed by their communities and serve staggered three-year terms, ensuring the island runs in the interest of all three stakeholders.

In other words: The trust works like a tiny country, running the island in the interest of its residents.

Because the community owns the land, private individuals do not. Residents purchase 99-year leases for their homes, farms, and businesses, and that money goes to the trust—not some eccentric billionaire. The trust earns about £200,000 per year and uses those profits to reinvest in the island, building roads, piers, and commercial buildings. It even built Eigg Electric—a renewable energy grid with wind, solar, and hydro power—providing affordable and reliable power to the island for the very first time.

This created a circular system where residents and businesses pay for land leases and energy, and that money goes directly to the trust, which reinvests it back in the community.

The island even built an intentional tourism sector. Today, it is home to just 110 people and sees 10,000 tourists a year, but it has avoided the hollowing out effect of Airbnb as revenue goes to trust-owned campsites and guest accommodations, or privately owned guest accommodations on trust-owned land. As a result, all tourist activities benefit island residents rather than absent private developers and hotel chains.

Eigg is tiny, and its innovative approach has largely been overlooked by modern thinkers ready to worship autonomous cities like Hong Kong, Chinese special economic zones like Shenzhen, corporate developments like California Forever, and charter cities like Próspera. These cities have master-planned communities and created enormous economies, and they are worth studying for those gains, but they are not creating utopian cities that provide a better life for residents.

Eigg is.

After Scotland gained its own parliament in 1999, it quickly passed land reform that would create more Eiggs across the country. First, it created the Scottish Land Fund, which provides public funds to communities interested in buying their own land. Then in 2003, the Land Reform Act gave communities first rights to rural land—any group can now register interest in a property and have the first right to purchase it when it goes up for sale. In 2015 and 2016, the reform was expanded to include urban areas, and even granted communities the right to compel a sale if land was abandoned, neglected, or otherwise harming the community or the environment.

As a result, more than 500 communities across Scotland have taken ownership of more than 563,000 acres of land and buildings. That’s more than twice the area of Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee combined. The largest and oldest project is on the Isle of Lewis, where the Stornoway Trust owns 40 townships on 69,000 acres, on behalf of the 11,000 residents who live there. Here, commercial development makes up a large portion of the trust’s income, earning commercial and industrial ground rents from their harbor, marina, and waterfront development, as well as surrounding agricultural lands and the island’s historic Lews Castle Grounds.

In this way, Stornoway functions like a tiny version of Singapore—both islands own their own land, earn commercial and residential rents from it, and use those earnings for the good of the residents who live there. Singapore was able to do it because it is also its own country, but Scotland was able to do it by creating hundreds of micro-sovereignties that exist inside a larger nation. That might make it one of the best places in the world to build utopian cities and villages in the future!

If we want to create better cities—more specifically, if we want to create the most utopian cities on Earth—we need much better case studies, like Eigg, and that is the subject of my research here. Throughout the past century, companies have built more beautiful cities than Hong Kong. Investors have funded a better quality of life than Shenzhen. Islands and counties have carved out autonomy for residents, not governments. Tribes are building more prosperous cities than Próspera, and new city projects on the horizon aspire to create the happiest place to live.

If we want to create utopia, we should learn from their examples and create a new vision for what the city of the future could be.

Not just an autonomous city, but a self-supporting city.

Not just a wealthy city, but a flourishing city.

Not just a bunch of skyscrapers, but a utopia."

That's why I spent the past several months researching the most utopian cities of the past century. Turns out: Companies have built more beautiful cities than Hong Kong. Investors have funded a better quality of life than Shenzhen. Islands and counties have carved out autonomy for residents, not governments. Tribes are building more prosperous cities than Próspera.

The city of the future shouldn't just build skyscrapers and GDP. It should build utopia.

At 16,000 words and 1 hour and 50 minutes of audio runtime, this long-form essay is an exploration of how we can do that.

I am beyond grateful to the Center for Land Economics who is supporting this series as a patron and whose co-founder, Greg Miller, wrote the introduction. The pamphlet was written by Elle Griffin, illustrated by Nina Bunjevac, designed by Patricia Faggi, and edited by Adrienne Westenfeld, with line edits by Shoni Bruell.

Thank you for continuing to read and support my projects as I explore the deeper-researched pieces that will ultimately become part of my book We Should Own The Economy. I'm experimenting with slow journalism here and that means writing that could survive the next century, not just the next week.

Thanks for supporting that,
Elle Griffin

P.S. 10% of pamphlet sales go to writers whose research I relied on in my studies, and the contributors who helped me put it together."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Imagining equitable streets for all

For the past century, our roadways have been engineered as pipes for cars, but they offer vast potential as public spaces. From New York and Boston to Portland and Los Angeles, cities are rethinking their streets, going beyond sidewalks and bike lanes to welcome nonmotorists to share the asphalt roadway. Reclaiming the Road traces the historical evolution of America’s streets and explores contemporary movements to retake them from cars—temporarily and permanently—for diverse forms of mobility and community life. To share the street raises important questions of equity, in transportation and beyond. David L. Prytherch proposes a bold, intersectional vision of a more just street.

Reclaiming the Road connects cutting-edge theory, policy analysis, and firsthand accounts from those leading the charge in transforming our streets to advocate for changing how we think about and design roads. Prytherch features case studies of nine major cities in the United States to show how experiments in reclaiming streets accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic to become lasting changes. Through in-depth interviews, he shares stories of how planners, transportation advocates, and community leaders have implemented innovative programs for slowing neighborhood streets, opening roads for walking and biking, and reconstructing roadways with public parklets and street plazas as social spaces for curbside conversation.

Examining movements to transform streets through the lenses of equity and justice, Reclaiming the Road tackles the conceptual challenge of defining mobility justice and the practicalities of planning a more just public street, offering a compelling vision for the future of America’s public spaces."]]></description>

[archived:
https://archive.is/rj6Dw ]

"A decade ago the Rue de Rivoli, which bisects the centre of historic Paris, was clogged with cars and parked vans. Today two-thirds of its width is given over to protected cycle lanes. On a weekday morning, commuters, delivery bikes and tourists pedal quietly along what was once a grimy transit axis. With over 1,500km of cycle lanes, Paris now boasts a bigger network than Amsterdam, Europe’s cycling mecca. The capital’s air is cleaner; noise levels are down. Yet as Parisians prepare to go to the polls on March 15th and 22nd to elect a new mayor, many are not happy.

Motoring has become the new front line for city politics. If Paris is on its way to becoming a post-car city, this owes much to the tenacity of Anne Hidalgo, the outgoing Socialist mayor, and the Greens with whom she has governed since she was first elected in 2014. The cycling network Ms Hidalgo inherited was already 700km long. She more than doubled it, blocking streets, curbing on-street parking and reclaiming roads—including a former riverside expressway—for pedestrians and cyclists. More daily trips in Paris are now made by bike than by car.

Yet motorists have never stopped grumbling. Only a third of Parisians own cars. But the share reaches half in the posh western quartiers. Their discontent helps explain why a majority of Parisians are unhappy with Ms Hidalgo. One of them is Sarah Knafo, a populist-right candidate (though not for Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, which is fielding another contender). She has surged into third place in the first-round polls, overtaking Pierre-Yves Bournazel, the candidate backed by President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party. Ms Knafo’s slogan is “A happy city”; her signature colour is daffodil yellow. A happy Paris, she implies, means allowing cars back on roads where they are now banned.

For Rachida Dati, the centre-right candidate and mayor of a swanky rive gauche neighbourhood, the crusade against the car is emblematic of misguided priorities. She has broadly embraced the cycling culture, although she deplores the “chaos” brought about by so many cyclists. But the impeccably turned-out Ms Dati, who until recently was Mr Macron’s culture minister, wants to focus on other things, including clearing rubbish and getting rid of rats. A clip of her emptying rubbish bins with the refuse-collection services went viral. If elected Ms Dati would end 25 years of Socialist rule. One of 11 children of north African immigrant parents, she would also be the first ethnic-minority mayor of Paris.

Her chief rival is Emmanuel Grégoire, the Socialist candidate and first-round poll front-runner. Speaking in the sunshine by the Seine on a recent afternoon, he cheerfully answers voters’ questions, which roam from the use of plant-based protein in public-school meals to the loss of local bookshops. Home delivery is undermining the “15-minute city”, the idea that you can easily reach shops, restaurants, schools and the like on foot or bike. As Ms Hidalgo’s former deputy, Mr Grégoire knows his stuff and is behind many of the projects to curb car use. He promises to finish the job and create a “100% cyclable” city, and to adopt a less top-down management style.

Other issues divide the candidates, too. One is the housing shortage. Mr Grégoire wants fewer tourist rentals and more public housing; Ms Dati would leave all that to the private sector and cut the city’s debt. Another is crime. Everyone wants more local police; Ms Dati wants them armed.

Such genuine concerns deserve proper responses. But the discontent over policies that have made the city so visibly less congested and noisy—at least in the centre—is more surprising. One reason for it, notes Jean-Louis Missika, former head of planning under Ms Hidalgo, is the disruption caused by building properly protected cycle lanes. Chaos and congestion seem to worsen before commuters feel secure enough to switch to bikes. Another, say critics, is that Ms Hidalgo has not matched her focus on grand urban redesign with a daily effort to keep the city clean and safe, and potholes filled. Paris may be admired abroad for championing cyclists. Parisians, divided, will now get their say."]]></description>

...

"Around 700 million Chinese citizens—a number twice the entire US population—have risen into the middle class since the year 2000. With new wealth has come new tastes and aspirations: organic food, SUVs, yoga and bodybuilding, vacations overseas—and sending children to Western colleges. Historically, studying abroad was only for a small elite and the exceptionally bright; but it has surged since the 2010s, and today more than 400,000 Chinese students are attending colleges in the West. English proficiency is a key to overseas admissions, so education in which English is the language of instruction—from beginner ESL to TOEFL, AP, IB, A-Level, and college courses—has become a multi-billion-dollar industry in China. In fact, there are now over half a million foreign teachers working in Chinese schools. Imagine for a moment that you are one of them."]]></description>

    <title>Scott Wiener: The Astroturf Network’s OG - The Phoenix Project</title>
    <dc:date>2026-03-05T22:49:57+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In a few short months, state Senator Scott Wiener may come one step closer to his long-stated goal of replacing Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and attaining a measure of the power that comes with succeeding a Democratic Party icon.

Recent polling has Wiener leading what is expected to be a close race against Saikat Chakrabarti, a former tech executive who once worked for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan. A recent entrant, former Trump appointee Marie Hurabiell, is expected to garner little support.

In the race for money, the distance is far greater: Wiener has raised roughly $2.8 million compared to $1.8 million for Chakrabarti (most of it in the form of a personal loan from the candidate himself), and $300,000 for Chan. 

What explains the fundraising gap? Wiener is neither wealthy, like Chakrabarti, nor does he have the passionate support of organized labor, like Chan. And unlike his opponents, he is charisma-challenged. 

What Wiener has is the staunch support of well-funded YIMBY organizations. YIMBY— short for Yes In My Backyard — is the clever name that disguises a lucrative partnership between the real estate and tech industries.

Most of the $1.5 million raised by Wiener in his first race for state Senate back in 2016 came through independent expenditure committees and were funded by the building trade unions, real estate industry and the police union. Billionaire tech investor Ron Conway was behind an independent expenditure committee that spent more than $173,000 on ads attacking Wiener opponent Jane Kim.

Once elected, he amply rewarded his generous supporters: No one has done more to further the YIMBY cause than Scott Wiener.

In fact, Wiener should be considered the OG of YIMBYism and the Astroturf Network on which it is based. His legislative staffers have gone on to populate lavishly funded YIMBY groups like the Abundant SF, started by tech executive Zack Rosen. Before creating the Abundance Network, Rosen cofounded California YIMBY, composed of wealthy tech executives like himself, in 2017. It is considered one of the first groups formed to push the pro-growth agenda.

Todd David, the architect of Wiener’s first state Senate campaign, is the Abundance Network’s political director; Andres Power, his former land-use policy advisor works alongside David as does Jeff Cretan, his former spokesman. Annie Fryman, his former legislative aide at San Francisco City Hall, works a position at SPUR (a pro-growth think tank) that is directly funded by the Abundance Network, while moonlighting as Abundance’s Senior Policy Advisor. 

YIMBY's claim, against compelling evidence to the contrary, is that removing impediments to residential development will solve the state’s housing crisis. They apply Reagan era trickle-down economics to the complex problem of housing. The results are equally dubious: In instance after instance, unfettered development has failed to produce the kind of affordable housing San Francisco — and other California cities — so desperately needs.

Instead, it results in gentrification and displacement, particularly of working-class residents living in rent-controlled housing. Another unfortunate outcome of YIMBYism is environmental degradation since they look upon environmental laws as simply another impediment to building.

A week after being elected to the state Senate, Wiener introduced SB 35, a bill that called for cities that failed to meet state requirements for new housing to hand over the approval processes for new developments to the state. Since 1980, California’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) office has assigned housing goals for each jurisdiction in the state. Wiener wrote a companion bill that changed the RHNA calculation ensuring that no jurisdiction could meet state mandates.

That guaranteed that a state-run approval process would be triggered so that housing approvals would be expedited. It eliminated reviews required by the California Environmental Quality Act. A year later, Wiener’s bill was signed into law by then-Governor Jerry Brown. 

It was the first of a series of Wiener bills that wrested planning decisions from cities to the state. We frequently hear YIMBYs tell us that we have to build whatever they want or else the state will take even more control from San Francisco. It is important to understand that did not happen by accident but because his wealthy backers made that happen.

A year later, Wiener authored SB 827, a bill said to have been written by California YIMBY Chief Brian Hanlon. Hanlon is a long-time Wiener association believed to have authored most of the state senator’s housing legislation. SB 827 called for removing height and density restrictions on development sites near transit. It received full-throated support from 150 tech executives, many of whom had donated to Wiener’s campaign for state Senate. It died in committee. Wiener would come back with two similar bills before SB 79 passed and was signed into law.

He was equally relentless in obtaining passage of a statewide upzoning measure, trying five times before ultimately failing. Instead, Wiener settled for passage of SB 9 in 2020, a more reasonable law that allows owners of some single-family homes to create duplexes on their property. However, another successful Wiener bill, SB 478, prevented cities from restricting lot size for upzoning projects.

The indefatigable Wiener has turned his attention to weakening California’s long-standing environmental laws. In 2024, he introduced SB 951, to remove portions of San Francisco from the protection of the state’s Coastal Commission. Despite vocal opposition from environmental groups, the law passed, allowing housing development on land along the city’s coastline. He followed up with SB 607, an overhaul of the California Environmental Quality Act, commonly known as CEQA, to limit environmental review for development projects. For now, CEQA reviews remain largely intact after the bill was significantly amended due to vigorous opposition from environmentalists.

All these measures were on the wishlist of Wiener’s YIMBY supporters. On its website, California YIMBY lists its legislative victories. Most of them are thanks to Scott Wiener, its main man in Sacramento. Now the tech and real estate industries are showing their appreciation by generously funding his long-cherished dream of a seat at the nation’s capitol."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Cities are writing systems.

As we walk through the city, we read it, but the city also inscribes itself onto us: its distances, its temperatures, its light, its repetitions—until we begin to carry its logic in our body.

This process is experienced intensely. At first, the city feels illegible. One moves incorrectly. One arrives too early or too late. The body is out of sync. Discomfort persists. But alongside that discomfort, something else begins to emerge: a dialogue.

The city envelops us, making us unsettled, then it begins to recognize us. We become a line in the city’s text—not erased, not resolved, but integrated. The city spells us out, even as we continue to stumble through its sentences.

As children, some of us had the palm of our hand read by classmates. Improvised experts. They would point to a line and announce, with unnecessary authority, that it meant something dire. A broken line. A short life. The line splits, then reappears—sometimes as two, sometimes as three. However, a line that breaks and continues does not signify an ending. It does not mean one life shortened. It means several lives unfolding simultaneously.

In the city, we live this condition constantly. There are multiple versions of ourselves moving through the same streets at the same time. Different interests. Different desires. Different affiliations. Slightly deviant versions of a unified self, occupying the same body.

As each section unfolds, each self writes the city differently. And in return, the city spells each of them out—sometimes clearly, sometimes reluctantly, sometimes all at once."]]></description>

"Raymond Saunders
By Richard Armstrong

The recent work by Raymond Saunders on view here includes some of the artist’s largest and most symbol-filled paintings to date. Saunders’s images are both invented and appropriated. Further, he often joins fragments of his handwriting with found texts. In combining the private and public imagery, he invites us to see differently—more allusively and with a greater sense of wonder. As viewers, we are caught up in his associative monologue, with its autobiographical elements as touchstones. An obvious example here is Joseph Fitzpatrick Was Our Teacher (1991), the artist’s homage to the longtime art instructor at the Carnegie.

Saunders was born and raised in Pittsburgh’s Hill District; through his work he gives voice to recent African-American history. His “black paintings,” begun twenty years ago, are, in fact, black backgrounds on which he paints, writes, and adheres objects in an evolving process that fuses particular cultural and racial memories to wider artistic ones. Saunders is a visual historian, recording and recreating his impressions of places and events ranging from his Pittsburgh childhood in the 1930s and 1940s to the present. He attended SoHo Elementary School, where his prodigious talent as an artist was evident at an early age. He went on to Fifth Avenue High School and then transferred to Schenley High School in order to study with Joseph Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick also headed the Carnegie’s Saturday classes, organized by age into the “Tam O’Shanters” and “Palette” classes. His enthusiastic guidance became legendary. In the painted homage included here, Saunders uses two reproductions of a Marilyn painting by Andy Warhol, another well-known Schenley High-Carnegie student of Fitzpatrick’s. The iconic Marilyns co-exist with an array of clippings and paper scraps arranged around a large boxed X on which a small black heart has been superimposed. Fragments of flyers protesting the Gulf War are juxtaposed and rearranged amidst a firmament of Chinese calligraphy and other printed and drawn ephemera. As usual, Saunders’s visual alchemy ultimately renders the picture a layered, essentially abstract, composition. His narratives wander freely. Chronological sequence is fluid, and the story being told is an impressionistic one.

At age fifteen, Saunders’s work was featured in a solo exhibition at the Pittsburgh Playhouse that attracted favorable attention from the public and the press. He attended art classes at Carnegie Tech before a Scholastic magazine scholarship allowed him to enroll at the famed Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. There, Saunders also studied at the nearby Barnes Foundation and University of Pennsylvania. A stint in the army at Fort Ord in northern California introduced him to the extraordinary beauty of the West Coast. He came back to Pittsburgh, earning a B.F.A. at Carnegie Tech in 1960, then returned to the Bay Area, where he received an M.F.A. at California College of Arts and Crafts in 1961. Saunders has taught there since.

Beginning with Pittsburgh—which he recalls fondly as a place of “hills and grass and green trees”—cities have been important to Saunders. His work, resembling elegant graffiti, has a distinctly urban cast. Saunders maintains studios in Oakland and Venice, California, as well as in Paris. He is a constant and wide-ranging traveler, relishing the demand “to be present and to interact. I travel to see and to observe. I want to stay engaged with how I feel and what I see.” Saunders has visited Mexico often, citing an affinity for the tonality and texture of its culture. He has also traveled to China, loving the meticulous beauty of the calligraphy and the brilliant reds that dominate the country’s public coloration. Wherever he goes, Saunders walks the streets, looking for and often salvaging detritus—some of it destined to be incorporated in his later work.

He is the vision of a city walker, and his work provokes a comparable vision for its viewers. It is a democratic and inclusive mode accommodating many readings. Saunders works on the studio floor, hovering above the picture plane, adding and subtracting at will. He reconfigures the whole to suggest new roles for each part, his choices aided by the bits and pieces of things he collects at hand. Like the jazz musicians whose names so often appear in his work, Saunders improvises new sounds from existing notes.

The most ambitious exposition of this technique to date is the recent and monumental painting, The Gift of Presence (1993). Gracing it with a double entendre, Saunders utilizes six wooden doors as the work’s support. An abundant lexicon of words and drawn images moves the eye across contiguous surfaces enlivened with a variety of found objects—most prominently a large circular Coca-Cola advertisement and a Pepsi placard in French. Saunders’s litany of great jazz musicians—Charlie “Bird” Parker, Miles Davis, “Dizz” Gillespie, and others—as well as such geographic inscriptions as “Pittsburgh” and “Harlem” suggest this piece as an extended cultural elegy.

Other recent works such as Malcolm X: Talking Pictures (1994), Urban Talk (1993), and Not Always Invited to Dinner (1995) are somewhat grittier demonstrations of Saunders’s aesthetic. The last assemblage, in particular—with its masked head, large black X, and old clippings about integration in Alabama, George Wallace, the FBI, and Malcolm X—shows Saunders as a visionary rooted in reality.

...

"Cities in games have always been more than backdrops. They encode assumptions about how people move, where power concentrates, what gets built, and what gets torn down. They are systems that speak — about economics, about politics, about what a society values enough to simulate.

This conversation brings together two thinkers who have spent their careers at the intersection of urbanism and interactive design. Chaim Gingold, author of Building SimCity and collaborator with Will Wright on Spore, has traced how simulation games don't just represent cities—they model them as arguments about how the world works. Konstantinos Dimopoulos has built a discipline, game urbanism, around the idea that a city in a game must earn its believability the same way a real city earns its character: through coherence, history, and the texture of daily life.

Together they'll examine what cities want from the games that contain them, and what games want from the cities they build. What gets lost when urban complexity is abstracted into mechanics? What gets revealed? And as game engines increasingly shape how a generation understands space, density, and civic life, what responsibility does that carry?"]]></description>

    <title>Automating Banishment: The Surveillance and Policing of Looted Land</title>
    <dc:date>2026-02-23T06:43:02+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://automatingbanishment.org/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["AUTOMATING BANISHMENT is a community-based report envisioned, researched, drafted, and edited by dozens of people coming together to study the relationship of “data-driven policing” to real estate development and settler colonialism. The report comes from the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition’s Land and Policing Workgroup. But it belongs to the community, produced through collective study and grassroots self-defense. To join our work, email us or sign up for the community discussion groups we're planning. You can also make a donation to our work.

This report begins with an introduction that situates the analysis in our organizing campaigns and then continues in six parts:

Part 1: Not a Moment in Time chronicles the centuries-long history that stands behind policing and surveillance of land in Los Angeles. The goal is to offer a historical overview of the history of policing, conquest, and displacement.

Part 2: The Architecture of Data-Driven Policing analyzes the programs, tactics, and tools that LAPD built its data-driven policing programs through, including their first-generation “predictive” policing programs as well as collaboration with other agencies. The goal is to introduce these programs, partnerships, and methodologies in order to later examine their use in displacement and gentrification as well as their evolution over time.

Part 3: Real Estate and Capitalist Crisis uncovers links between policing, capitalist crisis, and real estate development. The goal is to share examples of these connections, which we uncovered in our organizing and research, in order to frame what inspired our deeper dive into these issues.

Part 4: Containment, Development, and the Fight for Freedom in Skid Row is the first of our two deep dives into data-driven policing’s role in displacement, this one focusing on the history, present, and future of development and policing in Skid Row. The goal is to show how policing and surveillance have long been used to contain, blight, and banish Skid Row residents, with data technologies helping to automate this harm.

Part 5: Racial Terror and White Wealth in South Central is a deep dive into the role of LAPD’s data-driven policing systems in gentrification and displacement of South Central L.A. The goal is to show how police terror and surveillance work in tandem with real estate development to banish Black and brown people and secure white wealth.

Part 6: “Reform” of Data-Driven Policing and “Predictive Policing 2.0” examines LAPD’s new Data-Informed Community-Focused Policing framework, launched in 2020. The goal is to analyze the reformist strategies that are being used to obscure, excuse, and broaden the violence of data-driven policing.

Finally, the conclusion lists our demands and examines what it will take to abolish data-driven policing.

The analysis in this report builds on Before the Bullet Hits the Body: Dismantling Predictive Policing in Los Angeles, which we published in 2018. Two years later, we published The Algorithmic Ecology, an organizing tool we created with the activist group Free Radicals. This tool maps the need to organize against the entire ecosystem that surrounds police algorithms, beyond the technology. Below is the Algorithmic Ecology tool applied to the PredPol “predictive policing” software discussed in more detail in part 2 of this report."

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["When We Live Alone explores the ways in which we live alone together in contemporary cities. The unprecedented rise of urban dwellers living on their own challenges normative ideas about home and raises questions about how this change in social structure and lifestyle affects cities as a whole. While the causes of living alone seem apparent—shifting social values, the flexibilization of labour, new demographics, increased wealth, and changes to normative gender roles—the effects on society and its spatial configurations remain uncertain. Through a series of interconnected vignettes, the film interrogates this new urban condition, offering glimpses into the lives of individuals inhabiting singleton homes and the extended domestic sphere. Urban dwellers living on their own, architect Takahashi Ippei, and sociologist Yoshikazu Nango navigate the audience through a series of sole spaces in Tokyo. If living alone is our new reality, the film asks what does it look like?

Conceived by Giovanna Borasi
Directed by Daniel Schwartz

And how can cities become better homes for all? The documentary film What It Takes to Make a Home follows a conversation between architects Michael Maltzan (Los Angeles) and Alexander Hagner (Vienna), who have been grappling with these questions over many years and through various projects. While the cities and the political and economic contexts in which Maltzan and Hagner work differ, both search for long-term strategies for housing instead of reacting with ad hoc solutions. Focussing on some causes and conditions of homelessness, the film questions the role architects can play toward overcoming the stigmatization of people experiencing it, in order to build more inclusive cities.

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Where will you live once you grow older? Will your city take care of you? How to design for the elderly, and for those who care for them?

The documentary Where We Grow Older (CCA, 2023, 30 min) looks at how the growing aging population is reshaping architectural and social constructs and questions the role of urban design and politics in facing these challenges. The film investigates two models of how care and housing can be reconceived in light of prolonged lives: public housing as part of municipal policies and infrastructure—where the city is the caretaker—and the creation of a new architectural model that offers care in a single building managed by private entities not only to the elderly but also to their caretakers—where the building becomes the city.

Where We Grow Older concludes a three-part short documentary film series and investigation, conceived by CCA Director Giovanna Borasi, directed by Daniel Schwartz, and produced by the Canadian Centre for Architecture, to examine the ways in which changing societies, new economic pressures, and increasing population density are affecting the homes of various communities. Through the lens of architectural projects, each episode looks at the global scope as well as the local specificities of challenges to urban society and its spatial configuration, informed by changes in lifestyles and demographics. While the first film  What It Takes to Make a Home (CCA, 2019, 29 min) addressed homelessness, and was presented as part of the 58th Session of the Commission for Social Development at the United Nations headquarters in New York City in February 2020, the second film  When We Live Alone (CCA, 2020, 27 min) examines the ways in which people live alone."

    <title>Localism Against Tribalism - Front Porch Republic</title>

    <link>https://www.frontporchrepublic.com/2026/02/localism-against-tribalism/</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["We ought to see localism not as an accomplice to the tribalism that’s everywhere rising, but as an antidote to it."

...

"On Sunday mornings I play the organ at St. John’s Episcopal Church. At St. John’s, they’re welcoming and affirming and all the rest. Their big thing is “kindness.” Every year they devote a whole month to being kind. The priest is a woman.

On Thursday evenings I take our oldest son to Awana Club at Arbor Oaks Bible Chapel. At Arbor Oaks they think marriage is for men and women, and that men can’t become women. They have lay elders instead of priests. At the Sunday morning service, only men are allowed to address the congregation.

On Tuesdays my wife Elisa takes the kids to “Adventure Club.” Every week, whatever the weather, 5-10 families spend all day exploring a different state park. Elisa started Adventure Club a few years ago. The people who come run the gamut, from a pastor’s wife to an astrologer.

On weekdays, I teach at one of the local colleges, where my office sits in the middle of a hallway. On my left are the economists. There’s a bad Catholic who mostly believes in free markets and a couple who grew up in communist Romania and really believe in free markets. On my right there’s a historian who writes about racism and a philosopher who started our local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Around Christmastime I took the boys to the city orchestra’s holiday concert. The pianist was our son’s piano teacher. The director of the children’s choir was the cantor at St. John’s. In the audience were not a few of my colleagues, including the theologian who grew up in an intentional Christian community and the aforementioned Romanian economists, whose memories of communism might make them a little suspicious of “intentional communities.”

All this mixing is pretty normal in our town. When I’m out and about, I’m always running into friends and acquaintances who are all interestingly different from each other. Of course if you put them all into a room and told them to talk politics or religion, “interesting” might not be the right word for what would happen. But everybody’s neighborly, and it doesn’t feel false or strained.

Sometimes I think Dubuque might be a bit special. I grew up in or around another midwestern city of a similar size (about 60,000), but the social connections there never felt so dense. It’s also possible that I’m the weird one. I’m pretty intellectually promiscuous. Maybe my circle is more diverse than the circles of the people in my circle, and none of them would recognize what I’m talking about. But even if one or both of those things is true, I don’t think it can be the whole story.

We moved here from Boston. Before Boston we lived in Portland (Oregon). Before that it was Seoul, South Korea, and before that it was Toronto. I grew up on a family farm in Indiana, but I’ve spent a lot of my life in big cities, many of them among the vaunted “global” cities that get celebrated in The Economist. Never in any of those places did I encounter so many meaningfully different points of view as I encounter here in this decidedly non-global town. Different views were all around me, I’m sure. But I didn’t encounter them. It was like the ocean and the thirsty man. Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink. In the global cities, I was practically swimming in “diversity.” If I wanted to know just how much diversity there was, I could look up the stats and congratulate myself for floating around serenely in the middle of it all. But it wasn’t easy to do anything besides know about it. So it mostly stayed an “it”—a fact, an abstraction, a non-thing that was “out there” to be known. In Dubuque, where life is smaller, “it” is more often flesh and blood. All those people I’m always running into have names that I know, and they know mine. Here, diversity is something I can actually taste.

I’m not about to say that people in small places are necessarily better at “real diversity” than people in big places. Maybe if I didn’t encounter what was there in those global cities, that’s on me, not on the cities. Partly this must be true. When I look back on how I lived then, I see plenty of missed opportunities to connect. And when I look at people I know now who still live in big places, I see many of them doing a better job than I did of building a complex social life that crosses all kinds of lines. Nor do I regret the time I spent in those places, even if my older self knows what my younger self might have done differently. Adventuring and exploring are good things. And there are lots of good things that can only exist when enough people come together in one place. The Dubuque Symphony Orchestra is great, but it can’t perform Mahler’s 8th.

But the dominant prejudice goes in the opposite direction, and what I do want to say is that it’s just that: a prejudice. We’ve been taught by a lot of our stories to imagine small places as homogenizers. A lot of us have in our heads a black-and-white film-set diner where the locals are eternally turning en masse to stare silently at the stranger who disturbs their regular morning argument about the new traffic light on main street. H. L. Mencken is doing a voice-over narration, which is very funny and makes us feel very good about not being interested in traffic lights. There are lots of zingers about “yokels” and “morons,” and at some point he quotes Marx about “rural idiocy” while saliva drops from the open mouths of the badly dressed white men at the counter.

When the dominant prejudice is challenged, the challenger is often an equally reductive counter-image of small-town coziness in which there are no strangers because everybody knows your name. The Mencken idea is that small places are soul-crushingly boring because nobody’s allowed to be different. The anti-Mencken idea is that small places are nurturing and protective because nobody’s being pressured to stand out. It’s never a very satisfying debate because it’s just a contest between competing generalities. The winner gets to determine the emotional valence that gets instinctively attached to a caricature of a reality far richer and more complicated.

A better conversation would counter the dominant prejudice against small places with an emphasis on just how different people in small places can be from one another. I don’t mean this in the usual sense, which is that every single person is the center of an unrepeatable story, and it’s just a question of whether you’re attentive enough to notice what makes us all unique. That’s true enough, but it’s the sort of high-brow cliche that novelists like to trot out when they’re trying to explain why everybody should read novels. I happen to agree that everybody should read novels, and that this is one of the reasons. If you read widely enough, you learn that when you know how to look at it, the life of a contented housewife in Peoria becomes just as compelling as the life of a striving artist in New York. But that way of defending small town life from big city prejudice can give too much ground to the prejudice, and too much credit to the novelist. It argues that under the surface there’s diversity in small places, and that you’ll see it if your vision is sharp enough. The stronger argument is that there’s actually plenty of diversity on the surface, and that it takes wilful blindness to overlook it.

That’s the point of those examples I opened with. None of the differences between the people I mention are hard to parse. It’s simple, big-picture stuff, the kinds of social cleavages and ideological divides that sort people into camps and parties and keep the demographers busy shoveling fresh statistics to the talking heads. You can easily predict who most people at St. John’s voted for, and who most people at Arbor Oaks voted for, without knowing them as individuals. Certainly it’s better to know people as individuals, and I’m not entirely convinced that demography isn’t of the devil. But tribes are real, and as long as they are, it helps to realize that small places can contain multitudes as well as any global city.

Or maybe they can contain them even better. In its more negative sense, “tribal” is a pretty good word for what seems to be unfolding now on the grander stage of the nation and its bigger cities. I don’t know what recently happened in Minneapolis, for example. But when the stage is this big, it doesn’t really matter. All that matters is which tribe I trust to tell me what happened in a city I’ve never visited. And I trust the tribe I want to win. I don’t want them to win because I trust them; I trust them because I want them to win. My trust is a political resource I want them to have. Because they’re my tribe. That’s it.

That’s tribalism. Not the fact that tribes exist, but the relentless reduction of every question about “the facts” to one that can be answered by that fact. And the truly countercultural claim is that this reduction is something that happens more easily when the scale of political life is big than when it’s small.

Part of the Mencken story about local life is that tribalism flourishes when people don’t have enough contact with members of other tribes, and that this cross-tribal contact is harder to experience in small places than in big ones. The best response isn’t to accept the premise but then to insist that in small places it’s easier to get to know people more deeply, as individuals. That’s probably not even true. If your aim is to connect on that level, then by definition you should be able to do it in a big place as well as in a small place, since people are individuals either way. No, the best response is to insist that it might actually be easier in small places to meet people on the more superficial level, as members of other tribes.

If that’s true, then localism takes on more urgency the more tribalistic we get. We ought to see localism not as an accomplice to the tribalism that’s everywhere rising, but as an antidote to it. And it’s not an antidote that depends on the moral quality of the locals. What I’m talking about here is structure, not character. Localism works against tribalism not because people who live in small places are saints who love their enemies (they’re not), but because they’re literally more likely to meet their enemies in contexts in which their enmities are irrelevant. On the local level, it’s just as easy to have your tribal differences, but it’s a lot harder for them to become the most important thing, which is what leads to tribalism.

But we ought to be intentional about it, too, especially if we call ourselves localists, as opposed to just being locals. We didn’t really plan to get involved with two very different kinds of churches, but I think it’s good that we are, and now we try to actively cultivate our relationships in both places. Elisa doesn’t exactly control who comes to Adventure Club (it’s pretty self-selecting), but she certainly wanted it to become what it is, and she does a lot of work to make it work. I didn’t choose my colleagues at work, but I’m glad they exist. (Not getting to choose is an important part of all this; a lot of the tribalism we face now is downstream of having too much control over who we interact with.) Maybe that’s the most important thing: that you actually come to like all this random hobnobbing with “the Other.” It’s just good clean fun to run into people you know, even and especially if they’re on the other side of the Big Issues. When tribal differences don’t degenerate into tribalism, it’s possible to enjoy them.

Real “diversity” isn’t some dramatic idea that you loudly believe in. It’s a simple, everyday pleasure. Seek it out. And realize that you’re more likely to find it when the stage is small."]]></description>

Johnson on June 19, 1964 at the official groundbreaking of BART in Concord. The ceremony celebrated the start of construction on the 4.5 mile Diablo Test Track that would eventually become part of the Yellow line.

The test track was a lab for research. Every component of the system was tested there: laying track, power sources, the train propulsion system and more.

In this episode of The Nerd Reich, Gil Duran sits down with renowned historian Quinn Slobodian (Globalists, Crack-Up Capitalism) to dissect the "ideology of exit." 

While the media focuses on failed "Freedom City" experiments like Prospera, Slobodian reveals a darker endgame: a shift toward automated, "post-human" infrastructure where voters are no longer part of the equation.

In this episode, we explore:

The Hong Kong Blueprint: How a colonial relic became the template for 21st-century capitalism.

Authoritarian Capitalism: Why Silicon Valley elites are obsessed with models of control.

The Post-Human Zone: Why the future of "sovereignty" belongs to Manhattan-sized data centers, not citizens.

The Octavia Butler Reality: What if future isn't about escaping the "company town," but fighting to get inside one?

...

"Shortly after Detroit’s bankruptcy a partnership between the federal government, the City of Detroit, Data Driven Detroit, and the startup Regrid launched Motor City Mapping, which was an effort to make a comprehensive map of property conditions. A team of more than two hundred people fanned out across Detroit’s 142 square miles and used text messages to send updates that included photos. This all fed into a huge database and the numbers were astonishing: 6,255 lots with dumping, 6,845 structures with fire damage, 27,730 structures that need to be boarded up, and something on the order of 75,000 hours of effort to produce the map. That’s eight person-years worth of effort!

When I saw a proof of concept website float across my feed recently that was using video footage from a bike ride to conduct a similar assessment of building conditions—this time in Ireland, not Detroit—I was excited by how much things have changed in a decade. Cheaper hardware makes it possible to give lots of people video recording devices and GPSs. Cheaper compute makes it trivial to process the hundreds of frames that even a short bike ride can produce. LLMs enable a form of qualitative analysis with scale and speed. Add all of this up and it prepares the pre-existing means of mobility in cites that includes bikes, cars, and buses to become potential platforms for ambient sensing. The Spatial Dynamics Lab at University College Dublin is doing exactly that. This week I interview Brian Rogers, Research Scientist at UCD, about his work on making bikes into the ultimate urban sensor."]]></description>
