Hi David, I havenât created a mailing list yet, but if you email [email protected] I will include you when itâs set upâ thanks for your interest! (Do you have a mailing list or substack on nasty niches?)

And to know more about the concept, see this foundational paper by Ryan Timms and David Spurrett (@doctorspurt.bsky.social) âŹď¸

To know more about the idea of urban design and hostile scaffolding, I recommend Joel Kruegerâs (@joelkrueger.com) argument on anti-homeless architecture, which I have summarised before âŹď¸

Your paper is really interesting, and I will definitely be using the concept of gentrification regimesâto clarify the initial post, I meant that you have a more fine-grained taxonomy! The landlord angle has been discussed in philosophy by Daniel Putnam (same title but different article)

I think I made a mess of the thread; see comments for more on street play & community, including some relevant philosophy.

I found it! This post argues that community also requires individual effort that sometimes might be uncomfortable. However, the report shows that street play initiatives make people less reticent to interact (saying hello, stopping to chat)âmeaning that they can be effective tools of civic education

Yes, they do! @liao.shen-yi.org has an excellent review&response to that part of City Living âŹď¸ The thread got disrupted by trying to find the post I have lost on how individualism is a barrier to community that canât be solved w 3rd places only

The report also helps addressing the question of why the creation of third places is not enough to create community, because often people just donât go to them. I am trying to find the source, which seems to have fallen through my cascade of whatsapp messages and phone notes

Philosophers are also starting to pay attention to the unjust treatment of children and young people in urban policy (see the post below by Nico Brando & @katepitasse.bsky.social), but the report shows how caring about children benefits the community at large

This is a very timely find, since one of the first outputs of the project will be my work in progress on care-washing in the built environment, which I started when I came across Norman Fosterâs âagora-likeâ Apple store in Milan

Sevilla-Buitragoâs work on critical urbanism has drawn from Gramsci and Foucault to elucidate how bourgeois design impacts spatial agency. âHow would a Centrak Park designed by proletarians look?â, opens this summary of one if his scientific papers www.societyandspace.org/articles/lan...

This page will not only be a place to publish project updates, but also related current developments (in the news and in academia). At least during the first year, I also aim to publish short summaries of my literature review on political phil, phil of emotion, and other disciplines.
