On my way to the Richard Sliuzas’ farewell symposium: #UrbanPlanning for #DisasterRiskReduction. The symposium also marks 55 years of #UrbanStudies at #ITC. I will have to leave a bit earlier to join the next meeting of the #DesignLab research fellows.

A fresh review of my most recent book! 🤩 :sami2:

"An Urban future for #Sápmi? Indigenous urbanisation in the #Nordic states and #Russia"
(2022) edited by Astri Dankertsen, Marthe Winsvold and me - with contributions by Anna Andersen & Chris Andersen

Read it here (the review, not the book): https://www.idunn.no/doi/10.18261/njus.3.1.5

"Legislation that makes it dangerous to teach the history of things like redlining, white flight, rural land loss, and the countless federal and local policies that exacerbated racial inequities in housing, will particularly affect urban planning departments and related courses of study, such as urban studies and sociology."

If you have an argument to make about cities and urbanism, reach out to one of our editors to discuss. We are looking for interesting and provoking papers. #urban #urbanstudies

The last issue of Partecipazione e Conflitto is out, with many interesting articles about housing struggles during the Covid-19 pandemic, including ours (with Luisa Rossini and Angela García Bernardos) about Barcelona. All are open access.

My academic webpage is now updated with some old writings, recent book reviews, and some other missing pieces. All are open access to read/download if you wish. So far, the page has had more than half million visits since 2009, which is remarkable compared to other "impact" indicators such as the number of citations. Feel free to have a look, discuss and share if interested.

Squatting, urban security, and class anthropopoiesis in Milan (Italy)

Much urban doorbell activity speaks of the need for quick fixes — and the results of uninformed, poorly planned ones. The situation here could very well be evidence of casual vandalism. It could also be a quiet moment in the midst of just the sort of jury-rigged, duct-taped upgrades that pedestrians become either inured to or, in my case, fascinated by. Perhaps the tenant or owner is currently at the local hardware store, sorting out a selection. Given the haphazard angle of the board and the monochromatic palimpsest of prior attempts, it's more likely this will look the same, if not worse, on my next stroll.
