Homelessness and Exclusion: Regulating public space in European Cities

Abstract: Public space is an essential component of the daily life of homeless people, whether rough sleepers or hostel dwellers or others who are inadequately housed. During 2006 a group of researchers from the European Observatory on Homelessness considered the ways in which the increasing surveillance, regulation and control over public space, evident in all European cities, has impacted on the lives of homeless people. In this paper we chart the background to this latest phase in the 'regulation of urban space' and … Show more

“…Research on surveillance and inequality in particular suggests myriad ways that power is asserted and inequalities reinforced through regulation, classificatory systems, and computer algorithms that help actors engaged in surveillance to determine how to intervene on the basis of surveillance data (Doherty et al 2008;Kenner 2008;Pallitto and Heyman 2008). However, attempts to disrupt the power relations associated with various forms of surveillance have largely engaged with the act of surveillance itself, attempting to prevent the collection of accurate data (Marx 2003) rather than challenging the processes through which those data are used to influence or manage those under surveillance.…”

“…Además, al menos desde principios del siglo XXI, este enfoque culpabilizador está siendo reforzado por la emergencia de una tendencia presente en muchas ciudades europeas y norteamericanas, que consiste en tratar de invisibilizar a las PSH a través de la regulación y vigilancia del espacio público (Shalin, 2006;Doherty et al, 2008;O'Sullivan, 2012). Estos intentos de eliminación de la pobreza más visible no serían más que algunas de las consecuencias de la ciudad postindustrial o "ciudad empresarial" (Hall, 2002), que precisa tanto de la privatización, o cuasi-privatización del ámbito público, como del control de las conductas de unos ciudadanos casi completamente asimilados al modelo de "ciudadano-consumidor".…”

“…La question des politiques urbaines et de la sécurisation des espaces publics devient alors un enjeu majeur à la fois pour attirer mais aussi accueillir ces nouveaux commerçants et résidents (Parazelli, 2010 ;Doherty et al, 2008 ;Wacquant, 2004 ;Mary, 2003 ;Smith, 1996). En effet, dans ce marché mondial des grandes villes, la rue, l'espace public devient une sorte d'image de la ville qu'il importe de contrôler et bien sûr d'embellir.…”

“…L'évacuation ou l'expulsion de populations marginalisées (travailleurs du sexe, toxicomanes, jeunes de la rue) est vue alors comme nécessaire en terme de développement urbain. La visibilité des personnes itinérantes constitue un obstacle à cette image valorisante (Doherty et al, 2008). Par conséquent, le contrôle des espaces publics (rues, parcs, places) à travers des dispositifs policiers mais aussi urbanistiques et juridiques est devenu un outil de cette revitalisation au même titre que le travail d'embellissement des quartiers.…”
