Whose Streets? Paving the Right to the City (2011)
Whose Streets? explores the conditions under which New York City’s streets, beginning in 2006, became a target for the city government’s “sustainability” goals. These goals confronted the longstanding dominance of private, motorized movement in NYC streets and its many externalities. "Sustainable Streets" ultimately was an infrastructure plan that disputed the incalculable costs of lost productivity, congestion, air pollution, and diseases of passivity that come with automobile-centric planning. As such, the plan accelerated a path to new forms of economic growth led by dense new housing, feet, pedals, waterfronts, and parks. Through interviews, participant observation and secondary analysis, I illuminate how economic elites, government technocrats, and historically marginal social movement actors mobilized a common entrepreneurial agenda to preserve New York’s global city status. These unlikely groups found common ground over access to streets and public space in New York City’s greening asphalt.
