“… A name has power. It can foreshadow who will be moving in. By itself, it can conjure so much: gentrification, displacement, inequality, status. When we argue over names, or even invent new ones, we may be trying to exert some of that power — or lamenting that others have more power than we do.
[The New York Times] asked New Yorkers themselves to map their neighborhoods and to tell us what they call them. The result, while imperfect, is probably the most detailed map of the city’s neighborhoods ever compiled…”

Continued thread

If a neighbourhood is more than a geographic location or an array of houses, how could our neighbourhoods make us and the planet healthier and happier?
Episode 2 of our #LuxuryForAll podcast is out today: We talk about #neighbourhoods, #CarFreeCities, #inequality and the importance of communities being involved in their own decisions.

Learning to tell stories about my research on the lived experiences of working-class and wider deindustrialising communities. Wrote a story about it on Kudos. Check it out, if you are interested in a sense of place, urban imaginaries and deindustrialisation in post-socialist cities @sociology #deindustrialisation #workingclass #middleclass #sense #imaginary #place #neighbourhoods #city #cityimage #postsocialism #anthropology #sociology

www.growkudos.comEveryday life and local atmospheres in deindustrialising neighbourhoodsIn the context of deindustrialisation, it is important to examine how this global multi-layer process affects everyday life and local atmospheres in former working-class neighbourhoods. It is no less important to understand how current residents of deindustrialising urban areas sense and imagine their places of residence. The article examines these issues with the help of the concept of structure of feeling focusing on a sense of attachment to place and spatial images visualised by working-class and middle-class residents living in two industrial neighbourhoods located in the cities of Moscow and Yekaterinburg, Russia. The research design of the project builds on multi-sited ethnography which combines the mainstream qualitative methods of interviewing and observation with the creative method of a drawing of a neighbourhood, also known as a mental mapping technique. The research has revealed that the Soviet industrial legacy informs an affective attachment to place of both working-class and longstanding middle-class residents. At the same time, Soviet socialist values co-exist (and sometimes conflict) with post-Soviet neoliberal values. These co-existence and conflicts of socialist and neoliberal structures shape the landscapes and local atmospheres in the neighbourhoods studied.
