“…Similarly, Peck () describes postcolonial urban scholarship as a “particularistic drift in contemporary urban studies” and has called for a sympathetic reengagement with politico‐economic approaches to advance theoretical reconstruction in urban studies (also see Storper ).…”

Two cities loom large in the history of American urban restructuring. New York City's 1975 technical bankruptcy and Detroit's 2013 Chapter 9 bankruptcy have played an oversized role in urban theory. This is currently reflected in competing theories of post‐recession urban restructuring. “Austerity urbanism” uses Detroit as an exemplar, whereas “pragmatic municipalism” adopts the converse position arguing post‐recession reform is defined by local context. This paper draws on the small cities literature to generate a different account of recent municipal bankruptcies and their broader impacts. It uses qualitative methods to survey the causes and outcomes of all eight post‐recession Chapter 9 bankruptcies. The research recognizes the potential nationwide significance of these extreme events but avoids focusing on big city examples. The paper's findings suggest small and medium sized cities play a significant role in shaping recession‐related restructuring.

“…(1) As críticas à ideia e à conceituação da cidade neoliberal propostas por Storper (2016), além de se construírem a partir de ataques à validade teórico-conceitual da própria noção de neoliberalismo, como tão recorrente nos campos dominantes e hegemônicos da ciência econômica e do jornalismo mainstream das últimas décadas, perdem de vista essa transescalaridade fundamental não somente do neoliberalismo urbano (que, consequentemente, não pode ser compreendido de forma adequada em abordagens restritas a escalas menores e suas respectivas instituições), mas da própria dinâmica neoliberal de forma ampla, que é fundamentalmente interligada à globalização e dependente de seus desdobramentos.…”

Resumo Oposto às racionalidades neoliberais que tendem a estender os imperativos do mercado e da propriedade privada a todas as esferas da vida, o comum delineia a construção de formas cooperativas de produção e gestão de recursos compartilhados. Propomos, neste artigo, uma breve reflexão teórica acerca de como as contradições da produção do espaço da metrópole contemporânea podem ser compreendidas a partir do embate entre esses dois polos políticos contrapostos – o neoliberalismo e o comum. Para tanto, exploramos injunções e cruzamentos geo-históricos entre neoliberalismo e metrópole, assim como processos de endividamento e financeirização da cidade. Apresentamos as principais formulações críticas do comum e apontamos para a crescente relevância do comum urbano como alternativa à metrópole do neoliberalismo.

“…Recent research into the significance of neoliberalism as a major force in urban management has increasingly come to focus on its real or imagined impact (Le Galès ; Pinson & Morel Journel , ; Storper ; Birch ). Following on the heels of observations by scholars who suggest that from a ‘non‐Western’ perspective neoliberalism as a prime driver of urban change is of limited relevance (e.g.…”

Neoliberalism(s) as a Guide to Post‐Wall Urban Change: Explanation Out of the Blue?

Concerns have been raised that neoliberalism has become the favoured, yet uncritically applied lens used to approach and explain societal developments. This contribution assesses research on an area where this concern has been pronounced, namely the formerly centrally planned economies of Europe. Examining a sample of more than 200 articles published in twelve geography, area and urban studies journals over the period 2000–2014, findings suggest that while neoliberalism is not generally used as a blanket explanation for patterns of change following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, it is occasionally afforded explanatory power. Moreover, when it does assume this role it is rarely defined and more rarely still validated empirically. Thus, in about one tenth of the sampled literature, the importance of neoliberalism is asserted rather than shown.
