Change or turbulence

Abstract

Recently the rate, scale and causes of urban change have led to large stresses on our cities which have, in turn, led to greater polarization and segregation. Cities have become vulnerable as globalization has reduced their security and reduced their independence. Although the changes have been dramatic there is little apparent reaction or opposition. Some small groups strongly express their opposition to globalization and its attendant destruction of their societies yet the large majority of citizens seem unconcerned. Governments seem to have been 'denationalized' and excuse their inaction, or claim they are unable to prevent the changes, yet seem quite able to use the force of the state to protect private interests. This paper formed the basis of the opening talk at the 'Turbulent Cities' Seminar 2001, organized by the University of East London and sponsored by the Bartlett School UCL and by City.
