“…The analysis provides insights of wider relevance into why post-war orders frequently remain unequal, insecure, and fragile for years, or even decades, after the end of war, and helps explain the gap that exists between a bird's eye view of progress and relative security and on-the-ground experiences of insecurity and coercion. A relational analysis of peace also contributes to recent scholarship in critical and feminist peace studies that challenges the notion of a neat dichotomy between war and peace, and explores how war and peace coexist and overlap (Klem 2018;Gusic 2020;Porter 2016). Moreover, our analysis adds to the growing literature on everyday peace, locating and exploring how peace is manifested and experienced in people's everyday practices and interactions (Mac Ginty 2014; Blomqvist et al 2021;Lee 2021;Ware and Ware 2021).…”

“…Preferred restaurants also tended to be those which specialize in lowprice offers or were used to have a drink before heading elsewhere for food. Strategies such as these allowed youth to spend significant leisure time in the mixed city center, qualifying academic portrayals of this space as inaccessible to the working-class communities living in segregated areas (Gusic, 2020). This is important since the city center seemed to attenuate the intergroup dimension of interactions, as suggested by the absence of Catholic and Protestant identities in youth depiction of their social life there.…”

Understanding how to promote better social relations between groups in divided societies is vital for peacebuilding efforts. Building on the substantial body of research on intergroup contact theory and everyday multiculturalism, the present research aimed to examine how youth in the divided society of Belfast, Northern Ireland, experience social interactions in everyday urban spaces. Ten youth aged 16–18 (n = 2 Protestant females, one Protestant male, four Catholic females, two Catholic males, and one mixed religious background male) were recruited to take part in the research. Everyday contact experiences were explored using photovoice, a participatory method. Following engagement with a series of photography workshops and tasks, youth took part in focus group discussions and later, walking interviews (n = 3) to discuss the factors that influence their social interactions. Five main themes explaining youth contact experiences in context were uncovered: geographical and socioeconomic constraints on space use; group-based spatial cognitions, emotions, and behavior; lived experience and social discourses; markers of identity; and intergroup norms. Taken together, findings highlight key individual and structural processes through which public spaces become used or not by young people from different community backgrounds. Implications for research and practice for promoting intergroup contact and peace in socially divided societies are discussed.

“…Finally, For the War Yet to Come usefully discusses the transferability of its findings to other contested cities. Indeed, Gusic (2020) illuminates in a similar fashion as Bou Akar how actions in the postwar cities of Belfast (Northern Ireland), Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and Mitrovica (Kosovo) reinforce rather than transcend the continuities of war during "peace.

Review: Missing Middle Housing: Thinking Big and Building Small to Respond to Today’s Housing Crisis, by Daniel Parolek

The heyday of the detached single-family home may very well be behind us. The new generation of home buyers and an aging population are all seeking price points and lifestyles that are not afforded by the suburban neighborhoods of today. We are also in the midst of a growing housing affordability crisis. Different forms of housing may be needed to meet these challenges. Dan Parolek and co-authors Karen Parolek and Arthur C. Nelson suggest that we should look to the homes of the past to find the future of our towns. In the aptly titled Missing Middle Housing, Parolek argues that there is a growing market for a mid-sized building type that makes neighborhoods denser and transit-friendlier while preserving built forms that fit in with existing housing.The authors define Missing Middle Housing as a range of multiunit or clustered housing types, compatible in scale with single family homes, that help meet the growing demand for walkable urban living, respond to shifting household demographics, and address the need for more housing choices at different price points.
