“…The way forward, then, is 'further examples of both relational thinking about territorial politics and of territorial thinking about relational processes' (JONAS, 2012, p. 270). This requires some empirical hard work, which is welcome, and there are good examples of how this might be conducted (BEAUMONT and NICHOLLS, 2007;GONZÁLEZ, 2009;JONES and MACLEOD, 2011;SAVAGE, 2009;MCCANN andWARD, 2010, 2011).…”

JONES M. and WOODS M. New localities, Regional Studies. During the mid-to-late 1980s, 'locality' was the spatial metaphor to describe and explain the shifting world of regional studies. The paper argues that the resulting 'localities debate' threw this baby out with the bathwater and rather than invent new concepts to capture socio-spatial relations in the twenty-first century, the paper urges a 'return to locality' to enlighten regional studies. The paper offers three new readings of locality, which when taken together constitute the basis for thinking about regions, society and space through the lens of 'new localities'. It further suggests that for locality to have analytical value it must also have both an imagined and a material coherence, and it puts a 'new locality' framework to work in research on devolved regional economic and social geographies. New localitiesLocality Region Relationality Devolution WalesDe nouvelles localités, Regional Studies. Du milieu à la fin des années 1980, la notion de 'localité' constituait la métaphore pour décrire et expliquer l'évolution des études régionales. L'article affirme que 'le débat sur la notion de localité', qui en a résulté, a jeté ce bébé avec l'eau de bain et, plutôt que d'inventer de nouveaux concepts afin de capter les relations socio-géographiques du vingt-et-unième siècle, l'article prône en faveur d'un 'retour à la notion de localité' pour améliorer les études régionales. Cet article fournit trois nouvelles appréciations de la notion de 'localité' lesquelles, prises ensemble, constituent le bien-fondé des opinions sur les régions, la société et l'espace dans l'optique des 'nouvelles localités'. De plus, on propose que la notion de localité doit avoir une cohérence à la fois imaginaire et réelle pour justifier une valeur analytique, et on met en branle un cadre de 'nouvelle localité' dans la recherche au sujet des géographies économiques et sociales régionales dévolues. De mediados a finales de los ochenta, la 'localidad' era la metáfora espacial preferida para describir y explicar el mundo cambiante de los estudios regionales. En este artículo sostenemos que el 'debate de localidades' resultante acabó tirando el grano con la paja; en vez de inventar nuevos conceptos para captar las relaciones socioespaciales en el siglo XXI, aquí instamos a 'volver a la localidad' para esclarecer los estudios regionales. En este artículo ofrecemos tres nuevas lecturas de localidad que juntas constituyen la base para reflexionar sobre las regiones, la sociedad y el espacio a través del objetivo de las 'nuevas localidades'. Además sugerimos que para que el concepto de localidad ofrezca un valor analítico, también

“…The document revised the city as a 'common good' and proposed to reform the city government by creating an agenda that might be able 'to face the current crisis and feed a new project for Milan in a moment of decreasing resources'. 2 Listening to civil society proposals was a key component by which the coalition, guided by Pisapia, endeavoured to be distinguished from the previous 20-plus years of centreright administration that incentivised exploitative real estate redevelopment and annihilated participative projects (see González 2009 AQ2 ¶ ). It is in this transitory context (which was full of expectations) that I was involved in a research project aimed at mapping the urban regeneration proposals that were arising from local civic networks in the Navigli area of Milan.…”

“…In some ways, this displacement is tragically unsurprising because Atlanta is among many global cities who have used Olympic-related appropriation of urban space to displace unwanted inhabitants; indeed, estimates of the displaced and forcibly evicted as a result of Olympic development since the Seoul Olympics of 1988 now numbers over two million, with the 2008 Beijing Olympic preparations alone adding an additional 1.5 million (COHRE 2007a). Adding to research and scholarship on urban mega-event crises is the burgeoning body of global city literature that mass displacement is often an integral part of global city formation (e.g., Sassen 1991; Brenner 1999; Marcuse and van Kempen 2000;Purcell 2003a;Short 2004;Massey 2007;Gonzalez 2009). Furthermore, while Atlanta's municipal government and its civic allies have a long history of displacing its residents through urban redevelopment initiatives, the 1990-1996 Olympic historical moment is unique in that Atlanta's governing regime had not yet combined displacement with their explicit desire to become a global city (Greene 1996;Grady-Willis 2006).…”

''Did you happen to see any of those 'guides to Atlanta' they published for the Olympics? Big, thick things, some of them, regular books, and I couldn't believe it at first. It was as if nothing existed below Ponce de Leon other than City Hall and CNN and Martin Luther King memorabilia. The maps-the maps!-were all bobtailed-cut off at the bottom-so no white tourist would even think about wandering down into South Atlanta. They didn't even mention Niskey Lake or Cascade Heights.''
