The work that parks do: towards an urban environmentality

Abstract: Cities today are typically framed as sites of capitalist development, while the urban park is theorized as an indirect response to the emerging hegemony of industrial production in the nineteenth century. Yet, this historical framing tells us little about the process through which our notions of 'the city' and of 'nature' are produced, or how this knowledge affects the formation of urban people's identities. The discursive formation of the capitalist city can be traced to specific historical moments, one of wh… Show more

“…This analysis also illustrates how these responses are shaped by (but also help to reproduce) particular discourses and framings of change. The importance of discourses in shaping how processes of global change are understood and responded to has been highlighted by Leichenko and O'Brien (2008) while other geographers have employed discursive approaches in a variety of contexts (Adger et al, 2001;Gabriel, 2011;Peet and Watts, 1996).…”

“…UPE analyses direct significant attention towards urban infrastructure and water flows (Lawhon et al, 2014), as well as to urban green spaces including urban parks (Brownlow, 2006;Gabriel, 2011), lawns (Robbins and Sharp, 2003), and forests (Heynen, 2003;McLain et al, 2014). UPE literatures address the politics of preservation of these urban natures, and contribute significant findings regarding socio-natures as political domains.…”

A focus on the way in which urban park imaginaries produce a governable space and subject is long present in the literature.…”
