Gentrification, leading to displacement, is an increasingly recognized social problem. Individuals who are confronted with tight housing possibilities but have adequate incomes confront personal ethical issues on whether to act in ways that may contribute to displacement of lower-income residents, and researchers working on housing issues may be particularly concerned. In order to work out an ethical position, clarity is first needed on the differences among the various aspects of gentrification. The working definition used here is that gentrification includes the danger of displacement. A public policy response is thus required to deal with its social injustices. Specific steps are suggested for the development of such policy. Secondly, the suggestion is made that the individual choice of whether to move in or not is, importantly, a personal ethical choice and should take into account both the economic and political impact of the move itself but also the contribution that can be made through collective and political action by an in-mover to deal with the injustices of gentrification. However, it is also an ethical choice for the professions involved and their associations.

The language in which policy discussions take place can have a real impact on the policies that result, a subliminal impact that resides in what the words imply. What is a “crisis” and what “normality” is to be restored, who is the “we” that is often called on to act, who or what is “a city,” what are the goals of “resiliency, are questions obscured by the very fact that their meaning is so often taken for granted. This paper argues that many words become one-dimensional in their frequent usage, suppressing alternate meanings and implicitly endorsing the status quo. Interrogating the language used in policy analysis should be a high priority in effective and socially aware public policy research.

Critical urban theory and critical urban studies form the subject of two recent edited collections on approaches to the analysis and transformation of the contemporary capitalist city. In an exchange of commentaries by the respective editors and contributors, the introduction explains the genesis of each book and previews some of the key observations. Peter Marcuse then offers his assessment of Critical Urban Studies: New Directions, which is reciprocated by a commentary on Cities for People, Not for Profit: Critical Urban Theory and the Right to the City by Jonathan Davies, David Imbroscio and Warren Magnusson.

This paper deals with one particular purpose for public space, the role it plays in permitting popular public participation in in democratic governance, democratic governance in a very political sense. For the United States, it might be called “First Amendment Space”, after the provision in the U.S.A. Constituting establishing the rights of free speech and free assembly. In a broader sense, public space should also be available democratically and based on equality of rights for a full range of social interchanges, for recreation, sports, picnicking, hiking, running, sitting, chatting, simply enjoyment, by all people, equally. Such uses, carried out democratically, are in turn necessary for democratic governance, but in a different way. Let me call them “Social Spaces”. And they may be divided between Convening spaces, where convening for the purposes of political effectiveness may be planned, and Encounter Spaces, where chance meetings and discussion may be take place without prior planning/convening. “Infrastructural Spaces” are also social spaces but in a different sense, not directly political: spaces for transportation, streets, sidewalks, recreational areas, parks, hiking trails, bicycles partially. he term “Third Space” is sometimes in fashion in a similar sense, and often defined as somewhere between public and private1. More on social spaces elsewhere. When public space is referred to here, it is in the sense of political public space, First Amendment space in the United States. Tahrir Square in Cairo, the Playa of Mothers in Buenos Aires, the Mall in Washington, D.C., Zuccotti Park in New York City, perhaps Central Park or Fifth Avenue, with its parades and marches, but also the fenced in space under the West Side highway at the time of the Republican Convention, and perhaps the indoor space of the Convention Center, as used for convening for discussions of alternate proposals for rebuilding after 9/11.

The “Right to the City” is, for better or worse, a catchy phrase, and has been used with quite a diversity of often contradictory meanings. The article describes Lefebvre's own reading, a strategic reading, a discontented reading, a spatial reading, a collaborationist reading, and a subversive reading. It concludes with the suggestion of an alternate reading, a sectoral reading, consistent with the experience of the Occupy movement today. One should be careful which reading one uses.

This article, which discusses justice as an objective of urban planning, mentions that the planning profession's Code of Ethics in the United States states that planners should serve the public interest. It also enumerates the reasons why planners should be concerned with justice. These include the fact that planning is an action of government which necessarily affects the distribution of goods, services, and, more generally, life opportunities among individuals and groups, and that planners' actions focus on the distribution of space and thus the distribution of its benefits and costs.

... As mentioned before, "urban social movements" (Castells, 1983) arise from these tensions, embodying the "right to the city" as a demand for agency over urbanisation processes (Harvey, 2012). These movements resist the commodification of urban spaces, advocating for the reclamation of the urban "commons" (Ostrom, 1990), where governance and resources are managed collectively rather than through market-driven or neoliberal frameworks (Brenner et al., 2012;Harvey, 2012). In this context, interest in the commons-as mechanisms that address responsible resource appropriation while fostering autonomous management and democratic decision-making-has grown significantly in recent years and has taken on new political significance, as highlighted by Di Feliciantonio (2017), contributing to a more radical and progressive understanding of governance mechanisms. ...

... Indeed, after two decades of revanchism, crises of visible houselessness began to spread to other large US cities with rising housing costs and only worsened in those cities where revanchist policy approaches first emerged (Marcuse 2017). After the implementation of 10-year "plans to end homelessness" in myriad US cities in the 2000s, most were enduring greater levels of houselessness 10 years later (Sparks 2017). ...

... Yet public space is contested space depending on who you are and where you live. This has been reinforced through centuries with the dispossession of Indigenous lands, seas, and waterways (Wensing & Porter, 2016), the use of racial zoning in planning schemes (Loh & Kim, 2021), the use of urban policy measures controlling access through the gentrification and privatization of public spaces (Marcuse, 2015), and defensive architecture and increased policing of public space with heightening powers of move-on orders, particularly targeting people experiencing homelessness, young people, or anyone not of 'type' (Iveson, 2000). In addition, historic laws have prohibited persons with certain disabilities from entering or being seen in public spaces (Schweik, 2009). ...

... The dissemination of political information through language symbols allows slogans to influence people's values, leading them to digest and absorb them to shape their behaviours selectively. Therefore, the language employed in policy discussions holds significant practical implications for shaping public understanding and driving policy development (Marcuse, 2015). Government power creates a particular reality through 'rituals of truth' that generate certain knowledge systems (Foucault, 1991, p. 102). ...

... El DC regresa con fuerza a partir de 1970, haciendo hincapié en la justicia espacial, en un momento donde cobra fuerza el capitalismo financiero, que impone procesos de financiarización a la escala global y toma a la ciudad como el eje central de acumulación del capital (Harvey, 2008;Mattos, 2016;Valle, 2018). Este giro expone a las ciudades a nuevos flujos globales, condicionándolas a un juego de competencia, que subordina y fragmenta el espacio urbano (Borja, 2019;Marcuse, 2014). Según Harvey (2013), el DC no surge como una moda intelectual (aunque también haya existido) sino de una necesidad de los propios ciudadanos ante contextos acuciantes. ...

... I believe the book does provide the contours of the field of Urban Politics but that this will always be a somewhat contested endeavor, which in many ways adds to the richness of the urban field and its openness to newer ideas. Urban Politics study within Political Science has revolved around a loose division of those favoring a more positivist urban politics more closely embedded in the larger Political Science discipline (see Trounstine 2009Trounstine , 2020) and a more critical orientation drawing more upon interdisciplinary urban studies and being more open to post-positivist approaches (see Davies and Imbroscio 2010) and a more normative and radical orientation to advance social justice (see Marcuse et al. 2014, Ward et al. 2011. ...

... In conventional architectural term, "space" is recognized as a void defined by solid forms (Ching, 2007), and "place" gets higher understanding: space with specific meanings and character (Trancik, 1986). By concept of place-making, architecture can contribute to create various atmosphere for richness human experiences, identity production, and cultural diversity of spaces (Schneekloth & Shibley, 2000;Salama & Gharib, 2012;Marcuse, 2014;van Klyton, 2015;Savić, 2017). The concept of place then develops in phenomenological (Norberg-Schultz, 1991;Sharr, 2007), psychometrics (Patterson & Williams, 2005), and social constructivism approaches (Ekomadyo et al., 2018a;Morgan, 2010;Sudradjat, 2012). ...

... El espacio local de transformación entre los bloques de política global: Realsozialismus y really existing neoliberalism El hecho de que el área de interés formaba parte de la frontera vigilada y administrada por la República Democrática de Alemania le otorga gran importancia cuando se estudian las relaciones entre política, economía y espacio. Vale la pena recordar el principio de este "otro" tipo de planificación de las ciudades bajo el Realsozialismus "[…] en el cual el planeamiento de arriba hacia abajo (centralizado del Estado), sustituyó la mercantilización como principio de estructuración de la organización socioespacial" (Flierl y Marcuse, 2009). 10 En la ciudad socialista priva el principio de la planificación por parte del Estado; sin embargo, "La ausencia de las relaciones de mercado que determinan tan extensamente el contorno de las ciudades capitalistas, no constituye una garantía de que las ciudades libres de esas relaciones sean democráticas" (Flierl y Marcuse, 2009). ...
