The Arsenal of Exclusion/Inclusion: 101 Things that Open and Close the City - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

50 leading experts provide tools for analyzing how the Open City is made and unmade. The Arsenal of Exclusion / Inclusion is a book about 101 “weapons” that architects, planners, policy-makers, developers, real estate brokers, community activists and other urban agents use to restrict or promote access to the space of the city. The Arsenal includes minor, seemingly benign things like “No loitering” signs and Bouncers, but also big, headline-grabbing entities like Gated Communities and Eminent Domain. It includes policies like Inclusionary Zoning and Rent Control, but also physical things like Bombs and those Armrests that they put on park benches to make sure homeless people don’t get too comfortable. Some of the entries in the Arsenal-like Halloween and Famous ples’ Houses – are probably things you didn’t know had anything to do with cities at all, let alone this war for what Henri Lefebvre called the “right to the city.”
