“…Ushered in by market-led planning regimes and legitimized by entrenched urban compaction planning orthodoxies, this development presents challenges for these cities, for the governance of this new housing stock and for the residents who make their homes within it. At the urban scale, condoization risks a form of 'urban fracking' (Gleeson 2017b). In terms of the built environment, condoization may yield, at worst, thousands upon thousands of undifferentiated, poorly designed, constructed and performing homes crammed into vast towers that cluster to form inactive, windy and overshadowed streetscapes.…”

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Condominium and comparable legal architectures make vertical urban growth possible, but do we really understand the social implications of restructuring city land ownership in this way? Geographer and architect Megan Nethercote enters the condo tower to explore the hidden social and territorial dynamics of private vertical communities. Informed by residents’ accounts of Australian high-rise living, this book shows how legal and physical architectures fuse in ways that jeopardize residents’ experience of home and stigmatize renters. As cities sprawl skywards and private renting expands, this compelling geographic analysis of property identifies high-rise development’s overlooked hand in social segregation and urban fragmentation, and raises bold questions about the condominium’s prospects.

“…With urban policy increasingly defined by the structures, requirements and expectations of private finance, investment ambition rather than public policy has become the framework for determining physical outcomes (Buxton et al 2012, Gleeson 2018, Troy 2018. The impacts of this shift have stimulated debate both locally (Rogers 2016, Hulse andReynolds 2018) and globally (Moreno 2014, Aalbers 2016).…”

This paper examines the spatial implications of Sydney's vertical expansion over the past decade. Enabled by a partnership between market forces and strategic planning policy, the data indicate that the city's high-density development boom has been primarily shaped by economic viability concerns, driving a spatial policy shift to better align better with market forces. The paper concludes that in the absence of more comprehensive housing and urban policies, housing supply ultimately remains primarily a numbers game, delivered where the market finds it most profitable to do so, with planning acting to facilitate development in these locations.这篇论文研究了过去十年中悉尼垂直扩张的空间含义. 由于市场力量和战略规划政策之间的伙伴关系，数据表明，这座城市的高密度发展繁荣主要是由经济可行性方面的考虑所决定的，这推动了空间政策的转变，以便更好地与市场力量保持一致. 论文的结论是，在缺乏更全面的住房和城市政策的情况下，住房供应最终仍主要是一个数字游戏，在市场认为最有利可图的地方进行，通过规划行动来促进这些地区的发展.

“…Heeding calls from Graham and Marvin () about the negative impacts of privatisation and noting the impacts such privatisation may have on holistically and strategically planning for the future of Australian cities (Dodson, ), we think the ACCC's review is sobering. It signals in Australia such that the creation of private monopolies is unsettling how we know and understand neoliberalism (Gleeson, ). This change sparks many new questions, including those related to the ways in which planning for Australian cities is itself privatised and others about what impact might this have for participation.…”

This special section builds on Planning the Post‐Political City—Part 1 to examine if and how planning is showing signs of a post‐democratic turn taking place in Australian cities. In Part 1, we presented a collection of papers examining Australia as a post‐political landscape, exploring the new ways in which Australian publics are resisting dominant neoliberal practices and logics of growth and, in doing so, are intervening in decision‐making practices to assert new forms of power and participation. In Part 2, we show how participatory practices continue to evolve. We use this brief editorial to ask a foundational question: have those implicated in the governance and management of Australian cities embarked on a post‐democratic path? As they are presented with new exclusionary and managerial governance systems, the public's participation suggests at the very least that post‐political and post‐democratic conditions are neither immutable nor inevitable. However, more democratic forms of governance rely on a rich array of activist types and approaches requiring greater institutional support in order to challenge Australia's post‐political condition.
