“…Relative studies focused on factors such as planning and the implementation of particular place development plan (Bennett & Krebs, 1991;Compitello, 2003;Jimenez-Moreno, 2001), identification of development objectives, SWOT analysis (Miller & Holt-Jensen, 1997), identification of distinctive characteristics, partnerships between local authorities, private sector and universities (Baert & Shipman, 2005), the implementation of new innovative promotional policies by local public authorities (Dahles, 2002;Metaxas, 2010;Nuttavuthisit, 2007), representation of common interests and development strategies, between local authorities, enterprises and local communities, capacity and the level of knowledge of the local public authorities to plan and to implement development policies (Inskeep, 1991cited in Dwyer & Kim, 2003Kresl & Singh, 1995, 1999Metaxas, 2011;Polidano, 2000).…”

Developing place marketing pilot plans: the cases of Rostock and Kainuu

The purpose of this paper is to pinpoint the role of place marketing in the fields of tourism, culture, and business, through the development of place marketing pilot plans (PMPPs) for two places in northern Europe: the city of Rostock in Germany and the region of Kainuu in Finland. Specifically, the analysis is based on the combination of two basic marketing models, the Ashworth & Voogd (1990) model and the Kotler et al. (1999) model, aiming to present a methodological tool that could be effective for the successful promotion of a place's image throughout its external environment. The data are provided from the INTERREG IIIc Project CultMark. The paper contributes to research in two ways: (a) by displaying an integrated methodological approach with specific phases of planning and supporting the image of a place, and (b) by amplifying current views according to which place marketing implementation is not simply an occasional procedure. The case studies used support the above arguments.

“…The events of 15M gave renewed prominence to a country and its capital city that have long been relegated to secondary roles in the drama of European integration. Such sentiments of course played out in both public and political debates, influencing, too, urban and economic development that sought to position Spain as a site of global competition, international capital, and world class infrastructure (Compitello, 2003; Janoschka et al., 2013; Observatorio Metropolitano, 2007). With the onset of economic crisis and the edicts of austerity, protesters now engage with the financialization, speculative urbanism, and over-reliance on the construction and housing industries that made up the “Spanish model” of capitalism (Aalbers, 2012; Charnock et al., 2014; Coq-Huelva, 2013; García, 2010; López and Rodríguez, 2011; Rolnik, 2013).…”

How to create radical democracy in a moment of crisis and austerity? On the one hand, geographies of autonomy, solidarity, and resistance can offer hope, promise, and utopian anticapitalist alternatives for future action. On the other hand, agonistic initiatives that discard consensus in favor of conflictive engagement with institutions of state rule can allow for pluralism and the acceptance of difference. Perhaps, however, actually existing democracy can be achieved through an emphasis on process that bridges both activist ideologies. Looking to competing forms of activism in Madrid’s housing movement, I identify two strands of action—radical autonomy versus agonistic engagement. Despite their profound disjunctures, however, I argue these strands complement each other to ultimately experience convergence, which in turn contributes to the flourishing of new political initiatives. Within this convergence, feminist perspectives attuned to difference have been crucial in forcing transformation through existing democratic structures. The resulting political projects engage with mechanisms of state rule while drawing on practices and procedures from autonomous struggles to elaborate frameworks for institutional change. In the process, I demonstrate the possibility of collaboration between competing modes of activism—often conceived as incommensurate—in the broader quest for emancipation from neoliberal state rule.

“…With aid from the state, large‐scale projects relied on private sector funding. The Socialist Worker's Party, then in control of local, regional, and national governments, emphasized issues of social justice and the right to the city in its planning documents, but “the emphasis on slick outward appearances did not always coincide with the planner's diagnosis of the city's problems or the solutions they presented” (Compitello :405). One iconic project, baptized the “Puerta de Europa”, consisted of two Philip Johnson towers leaning towards one another like lovers across a roundabout, financed through a complicated web of Kuwaiti oil dollars and the coffers of old madrileño families made rich under late Francoism.…”

Interrogating Madrid's “Slum of Shame”: Urban Expansion, Race, and Place-Based Activisms in the Cañada Real Galiana

Following the spontaneous occupation of Madrid's Puerta del Sol in 2011, many academic accounts have found these mobilizations new and noteworthy for their technological savvy and networked capabilities. In this article, I argue that such depictions fail to capture both the influence of Spanish urbanism's material conditions on certain disadvantaged populations, and the broad diversity of these contemporary activisms. Looking to struggles over the proposed demolition of a squatter settlement in Madrid, I demonstrate how Madrid's planning has propagated racial imaginaries to legitimate dispossession and subvert anti-poverty policies. Second, I examine how resistance and contestation emerge out of specific urban experiences of inequality, and transcend traditional modes of activist organizing through the formation of broad coalitions between various civil society actors. In doing so, I argue that Madrid's mobilizations have paradoxically opened new avenues for the inclusion minority voices, against popular understandings that read rising xenophobia during crisis. Resumen: Un gran número de estudios académicos han analizado las movilizaciones recientes en Madrid, entre ellas la de la Puerta del Sol en 2011, considerándolas novedosas y de gran importancia debido a sus capacidades tecnológicas y naturaleza reticular. En este artículo propongo que dichos análisis no logran captar el impacto de las condiciones materiales del urbanismo español en las poblaciones perjudicadas ni la diversidad dentro del activismo contemporáneo. El artículo analiza las movilizaciones en contra del derribo de un asentamiento chabolista en Madrid y muestra la manera en que la planificación madrileña ha propagado imaginarios raciales con el fin de legitimar procesos de desposesión y subvertir políticas anti-pobreza. El análisis hace énfasis en cómo los movimientos contestatarios y de resistencia surgen de experiencias particulares de desigualdad urbana y cómo estos trascienden mecanismos tradicionales de activismo a la vez que forman coaliciones amplias con diversos actores de la sociedad civil. De esta forma, propongo que-de manera paradójica y en contra de la idea común de que la xenofobia aumenta durante épocas de crisis-las movilizaciones de hoy en día han creado nuevas vías para la inclusión de voces minoritarias.
