Annual Meeting Urban Affairs Association - Contesting and Sustaining the City: Neighbourhood, Region, or World - Chicago 4-9 March 2009 04-03-2009, Source: Urban Affairs
Association Introduction Policymakers, planners and scholars debate the question of how we should
govern our cities. If we should plan our cities. What place should aesthetic
design hold in the process? Whom should we be building our cities for? And with
whom should we be making these kinds of decisions?
Description
The search for competitive advantage between neighborhoods, cities and
regions leads policy makers to focus more and more of their attentions on
projects geared to enhance "quality of life." However, as the gaps between rich
and poor continue to grow, the question that is left is, "For whom do we craft
our urban world?"
As policy makers seek to enhance their economic position locally, nationally
and internationally, they are faced with a variety of tradeoffs—leaving winners
and losers. Contesting and sustaining the city is the theme for the 39th Annual
Meeting of the Urban Affairs Association in Chicago.
