Article: Urban Politics Reconsidered: Growth Machine to Post-democratic City?
Just published: Gordon MacLeod (Durham University), "Urban Politics Reconsidered: Growth Machine to Post-democratic City?" ("Urban Studies", 48 [12], September 2011: pp. 2629-60).
Quote: "[D]owntown renaissance is ... choreographed around an implicit consensus to 'police' the circumspect city, while presenting as ultra-politics anything that might disturb the strict ethics of consumerist citizenship. Beyond downtown, a range of shadow governments, secessionary place-makings and privatisms are remaking the political landscape of post-suburbia. ... This paper suggests that recent theorisations on post-democracy and the post-political may help to decode the contemporary landscape of urban politics beyond governance".
