“…Para esto, es primordial involucrar a todos los que habitan la ciudad como entes activos, no solo de su funcionamiento en términos de producción económica, sino como seres políticos y socialmente dinámicos que afectan el quehacer de la ciudad, y de los otros habitantes, ya que las formas de intervención de nuestro territorio son un reflejo de cómo entendemos el mundo y cómo ejercemos nuestra influencia sobre él (Beveridge y Koch, 2017). Se trata de un proceso que no tiene un fin específico, por el contrario, son las personas quienes le dan sentido a vivir o hacer ciudad, la semiosis urbana (Mangieri, 2017).…”

El concepto de ergociudad surge desde el enfoque sistémico de la ergonomía y su correlato con criterios de confort y bienestar aplicados a la ciudad. El planteamiento metodológico utilizado en el presente artículo permite caracterizar el espacio público, identificar y describir los factores que inciden negativamente en su calidad y la valoración que le otorgan las personas a través de indicadores físicos y perceptuales, posibilitando integrar su mirada y su relación con los objetos y el entorno al diseño y planificación urbana. Como conclusión, surge un conocimiento crítico nuevo con relación al mejoramiento del espacio público como garantía de su adecuación a las personas y a la forma como habitan el espacio para ser incorporado en los instrumentos de planificación y desarrollo de nuestras ciudades, evitando la permanente adaptación de las personas al entorno construido.

“…However, at the same time the helpfulness of the "post-political city" notion underpinning this work has been questioned on the grounds that it offers a narrow, even prescriptive, view of politics curiously disengaged from the 'urban' and urbanization processes (cf. Davidson and Iveson, 2015a;Nicholls and Uitermark, 2017;Beveridge and Koch, 2017a;Beveridge and Koch, 2017b).…”

“…It is view of politics in which the urban is always in some ways not just the setting or medium (cf. Davidson and Martin, 2013) but the very stake of struggles (Beveridge and Koch, 2017b). We think that certain urban conditions are productive of a range of political antagonisms and we aim to identify how these play out in struggles for self-government of the urban everyday.…”

This article responds to both ongoing urban practices and strands of urban theory by arguing for a (re-)turn to the everyday as a means of thinking about antagonism and political possibility. We examine how the everyday might be conceived politically and wonder what it is about the current conjuncture that is fuelling the reimagining of the political possibility of the urban. We develop the category of urban everyday politics to capture the politicised everyday practices observable in our towns and cities: collective, organised and strategic practices that articulate a political antagonism embedded in, but breaking with, urban everyday life through altering socio-spatial relations. While we make no empirical claims about the current impact of this form of politics, we assert the political potential of viewing the everyday as a source, stake and site of dissensus in current urban conditions. Politicising the urban everyday offers, we conclude, a strategy for transformative politics, one in which the state recedes from view, micro-political action is transcended and democratic possibilities lie in the transformation of the urban here and now.

“…Rancie`re (1999Rancie`re ( , 2010) makes a distinction between politics, defined as the sheer contingency of any social order, and police, defined not as a profession but the internal relations and constituent parts of society that give value to social roles, orders, conducts, and boundaries. Recent interventions in the debate on politicizing the city through urban theory and practice reduce ''the state'' and ''policy'' to the police, which misses the social and institutional materiality of the state and particularly how depoliticization operates in and through the state (see Beveridge and Koch, 2017;Swyngedouw, 2017). 2.…”

Re-stating the post-political: Depoliticization, social inequalities, and city-region growth

This paper argues that city-region building debates and relatedly ''post-political'' literatures are missing critical perspectives on the state, particularly the state's continued existence as a social relation and an arena for politics, its role in the regulation of uneven development and the conflicts and struggles that arise from this. The paper brings the state centrally into ''post-political'' debates via a critical analysis of the interrelationships between depoliticization and neoliberalism. Focusing on Sheffield (South Yorkshire, England) in the context of devolution and deal-making public policy, the paper explores the seemingly consensual vision-making dynamics of this city region and dissects the tensions around economic governance, welfare austerity and social inequalities to get a handle on the ''post-political'' depoliticized state in, and of, contemporary capitalism.
