P1 = 20 marks (2 marks per definition). (l: gov trouble and making of a good): Capitalist visions of public space prioritize fluidity. Public space and fluidity: people and things should move around without too much interruption. Public streets are seen as vehicles and people are seen as passengers. In public space, the vagrants (urban poor) are seen as obstacles insofar as they impede fluidity. Modern conceptions of how space should be used view vagrants as obstructions by way of a moral conception of urban propriety and urban citizenship. Urban subjectivity is deeply connected with the moral conception of urban propriety ad the function of space. Mitchell explains the assault on the homeless as just the most tangible manifestation of the libertarian paradise of an all-privatized social order.
