Document Summary

One that can be accessed by all inhabitants. High lines design is both spatially and operationally to narrow. Architects/ landscape architects/urban designers engage in place-making projects that propose to create a more open city. This has been a response to forms of privatization, gentri cation, displacement, and socio-spatial exclusion (a bi-product of neoliberal capitalism) Even the most radical designers are seriously constrained by these politico- institutional contexts. They are de ned by a growth- rst, market-oriented urban economic policy. Corporate and property-development interests maintain control over local land use. Thus opening up the city has only intensi ed this spatial injustice. This is because urbanism frequently generates major economic payoffs. A global trend of growth machine interests (linked to speculative, predatory investments in global nancial markets) Ruling classes are seen to reinforce tight control over the production and appropriation of urban space. The open city masks forms of top-down planning, market dominated governance, socio- spatial exclusion and displacement.
