Claims to the City
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: I suppose property professors are always on the lookout for unconventional uses of land. My work examines the transformation of various cities under financial capitalism. City governments regulate land to attract real estate investors just as they make governance decisions as if they were financial actors and not representatives of the public. I’ve argued that investors and their partner real estate developers exercise agency in the city. This has left cities less prone to the spontaneous, messy, and unscripted encounters which fuel popular energy and imagination.
