The Occupy Wall Street Movement's Struggle Over Privately Owned
International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3162–3181 1932–8036/20170005 A Noneventful Social Movement: The Occupy Wall Street Movement’s Struggle Over Privately Owned Public Space HAO CAO The University of Texas at Austin, USA Why did the Occupy Wall Street movement settle in Zuccotti Park, a privately owned public space? Why did the movement get evicted after a two-month occupation? To answer these questions, this study offers a new tentative framework, spatial opportunity structure, to understand spatial politics in social movements as the interaction of spatial structure and agency. Drawing on opportunity structure models, Sewell’s dual concept of spatial structure and agency, and his concept of event, I analyze how the Occupy activists took over and repurposed Zuccotti Park from a site of consumption and leisure to a space of political claim making. Yet, with unsympathetic public opinion, intensifying policing and surveillance, and unfavorable court rulings privileging property rights over speech rights, the temporary success did not stabilize into a durable transformation of spatial structure. My study not only explains the Occupy movement’s spatial politics but also offers a novel framework to understand the struggle over privatization of public space for future social movements and public speech and assembly in general. Keywords: Occupy Wall Street movement, privately owned public space (POPS), spatial opportunity structure, spatial agency, spatial structure, event Collective actions presuppose the copresence of “large numbers of people into limited spaces” (Sewell, 2001, p. 58). To hold many people, such spaces should, in principle, be public sites that permit free access to everyone. The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, targeting the engulfing inequality in the age of financialization and neoliberalization, used occupation of symbolic sites to convey its message. -

Departmentof Parks
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTOF PARKS BOROUGH OF THE BRONX CITY OF NEW YORK JOSEPH P. HENNESSY, Commissioner HERALD SQUARE PRESS NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF PARKS BOROUGH OF 'I'HE BRONX January 30, 1922. Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor, City of New York. Sir : I submit herewith annual report of the Department of Parks, Borough of The Bronx, for 1921. Respect fully, ANNUAL REPORT-1921 In submitting to your Honor the report of the operations of this depart- ment for 1921, the last year of the first term of your administration, it will . not be out of place to review or refer briefly to some of the most important things accomplished by this department, or that this department was asso- ciated with during the past 4 years. The very first problem presented involved matters connected with the appropriation for temporary use to the Navy Department of 225 acres in Pelham Bay Park for a Naval Station for war purposes, in addition to the 235 acres for which a permit was given late in 1917. A total of 481 one- story buildings of various kinds were erected during 1918, equipped with heating and lighting systems. This camp contained at one time as many as 20,000 men, who came and went constantly. AH roads leading to the camp were park roads and in view of the heavy trucking had to be constantly under inspection and repair. The Navy De- partment took over the pedestrian walk from City Island Bridge to City Island Road, but constructed another cement walk 12 feet wide and 5,500 feet long, at the request of this department, at an expenditure of $20,000. -

This plan is a jumping-off point for collaboration with our constituents. At its center, the vision proposes a dramatic 33% expansion of public space. -
Chapter 3: History and Land Use of City Hall Park
Chapter 3: History and Land Use of City Hall Park A. Background History Alyssa Loorya Introduction This section is edited from the forthcoming doctoral dissertation from Loorya on City Hall Park. Loorya’s work references several graduate student projects associated with the overall City Hall Park project, most notably the Master’s theses of Mark Cline Lucey (included as the next section) and Julie Anidjar Pai as well as reports by Elizabeth M. Martin, Diane George, Kirsten (Davis) Smyth, and Jennifer Borishansky. These reports are presented in Chapter 6. This section outlines the history of the City Hall Park area. To provide for proper context, a general history of the development of the lower Manhattan area is presented first to provide a more complete picture of overall project area. City Hall Park is a relatively small triangular parcel of land (8.8 acres) within New York City’s Manhattan Island. It is bounded to the north by Chambers Street, to the east by Park Row, to the west by Broadway. It began as a cow pasture and today houses the seat of government for the nation’s largest city. The general history of City Hall Park is fairly well documented though only in a single comprehensive source.1 The changing uses of City Hall Park from the beginning of the colonial periodFig. 3-1: of theCity midHall nineteenthPark Location century reflect 1 The Master’s Thesis City Hall Park: An Historical Analysis by Mark Cline Lucey, 2003, (below) chronicles the physical development of City Hall Park from the Dutch Colonial period to the mid-nineteenth century. -
