Shortlisted for the Socio-Legal Theory and History Prize from the Socio-Legal Studies Association " Owning the Street should be essential reading for property scholars and for all those using property to understand issues related to citizenship, agency, power, and urban governance." -- Contemporary Sociology " Owning the Street: The Everyday Life of Property is invaluable for everyone interested in the future of cities and especially for those in search of novel ways to radically accomplish incremental change through continued civic creativity, committed talent, and dedication." -- Landscape Journal "Interrelationships between sociology, law and planning are not much explored in scholarly and professional fields of planning, to put it mildly. Amelia Thorpe's publication, Owning the Street , gives a wonderful demonstration of the significance of adopting just such an interdisciplinary perspective.

Synopsis
How local, specific, and personal understandings about belonging, ownership, and agency intersect with law to shape the city. In Owning the Street , Amelia Thorpe examines everyday experiences of and feelings about property and belonging in contemporary cities. She grounds her account in an empirical study of PARK(ing) Day, an annual event that reclaims street space from cars. A popular and highly recognizable example of DIY Urbanism, PARK(ing) Day has attracted considerable media attention, but has not yet been the subject of close scholarly examination. Focusing on the event's trajectories in San Francisco, Sydney, and Montreal, Thorpe addresses this gap, making use of extensive interview data, field work, and careful reflection to explore these tiny, temporary, and often transformative interventions.
