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. [ . . . ] This inspiring book must be used and discussed in bachelor or master classes of planning schools." -- Planning Theory " Amelia Thorpe's Owning the Street: The Everyday Life of Property is a thought-provoking scholarship on the role of user-generated urbanism in shaping the contemporary metropolis. [ . . . ] Thorpe weaves magic through her captivating story-telling style backed by state-of-the-art research to elucidate the role of PARK(ing) Day as a compelling idea which disrupts the status quo to be a zeitgeist, which could revolutionise the contemporary socio-political discourse and inspire the readers to work for a sustainable future." -- Emotion, Space and Society "Owning the Street is an engaging, charmingly authentic work that highlights how property is too frequently overlooked as local, small-scale, and vernacular. [ . . . ] [It] is an important addition to the burgeoning scholarship of critical property theory and its intersections with the city. Thorpe takes a quirky, playful, and above all transitory intervention into public space, and yields a work that is rich, creative, and enduring in its significance to law, property, and social politics." -- Legalities "Thorough, thoughtful, and nuanced." --Journal of Sociology, 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.

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.

- s***a (22)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI purchased multiple books from this seller, and this was a great experience! Each book was listed at a great price! Everything was shipped out quickly, and arrived only a few days after that. The book was packaged appropriately as well. The condition of the book was even better than what was listed, as it looked almost brand new, rather than the “very good” that was stated. I absolutely would buy from this seller again!
