My heartfelt thanks to all the colleagues, friends and fellow travellers who have inspired, supported and enabled me to produce this work. In particular, I would like to gratefully acknowledge: Everyone in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at the University of Sheffield who co-create a stimulating, collegial and productive environment. Particular thanks to my Supervisor Professor Rowland Atkinson for critical questions, support and changing my perspective; in short being an excellent supervisor. Thanks also to Dr Tom Moore, Dr Lee Crookes, Dr Steve Connelly, Professor John Flint, Dr Suzi Hall, Clea Carroll, Keely Armitage, all my fellow PGRs for comments, debate and friendship and my thesis mentor Dr Emily Goodall. I will be forever grateful to the wonderful Dr Victoria Henshaw for her belief in me and her suggestion I should do a PhD at Sheffield. Special thanks to all my research participants who shared their time and their stories so generously and who taught me so much. The LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement) dérive every month in Manchester and I am touched by all who wander and wonder with me on First Sundays and beyond, on the streets and in cyberspace. Thank you all so much. This thesis is a tiny part of an ongoing conversation and tumultuous love affair with the city. In the midst of my PhD we celebrated by creating Loitering With Intent: The Art and Politics of Walking. Cheers to everyone who contributed and to PHM for an extraordinary experience which revived my passion. Many other wise and inspiring people have helped me develop the ideas in my thesis, possibly without even realising it: Thanks to Adrian Doggett, Alan Smith, Alex Bridger, Alison Crush, Alison Lloyd, Andrea Capstick, Blake Morris, Brian Rosa, Bren O’Callaghan, BSNers, Caroline Turner, Clare Qualmann, Craig Almond, Chris Mills, Dale Meakin, Dave Van Derhoven, David Cooper, Eamonn Canniffe, Ealasaid Munro, Eleanor Bullen, Emma Curtin, Friends of Library Walk, Gabriela Ibarra, Gwyneth Lonergan, Hazel Covill, Helen Derby, Jamie Gough, Jane Samuels, Jason Slade, Jenny Pickerill, Jo Norcup, Joan Rutherford, John Piprani, Julian Holloway, Julie Campbell, Kate Pahl, Kiera Chapman, Kerry Burton, Lee Johnson, Living Streets, Lucy Furlong, Luke Bennett, Lynne Pettinger, Manchester Shield, Manchester Women’s Design Group, Marc Hudson, Mark Jayne, Marie Pattison, Marie Trubic, Matthew Gannicliffe, Matt Hill, Matthew Schofield, Maureen Ward, Natalie Bradbury, Natalie Zacek, Nicola Headlam, Nick Dunn, Nigel Clarke, Nora Murphy, OpenSpace Co-operative, Paul Raven, Phil Smith, Richard Phillips, Roy Bayfield, Pool Arts, Saffron Swansborough, Sarah M Hall, Sarah Irving, Sheffield Space and Place Group, Sheffield P a g e | 3 Psychogeography Action, Steve Graby, Steve Millington, Steve Pile, The Basement, The Handsome Family, Tracey Potts, Tim Edensor, Tina Richardson and all the contributors to Walking Inside Out, Victoria Robinson, The Walking Artists Network, WIASN and everyone who contributed to debates at The Supernatural Cities Conference (Plymouth 2015), Mundane Methods (Manchester University 2016), New and Emerging Feminist Geographies (RGS London 2016, 2017), Poet in the City (Manchester, 2016), Walking Women (Edinburgh 2016) Walk On (Sunderland 2013), and the RC21 panel on More Than Pedestrian: Psychogeography, Creative Walking and Spatial Justice (Leeds 2017).

Heartfelt thanks to John Hawes for being my psychogeographical compass and so much more. I couldn’t have done this without your support. Here’s to the next chapter: as long as we’ve got rock n roll (and roast potatoes) everything will be alright. This thesis is dedicated to my Grandmother, Lillian May Doggett, the sweetest, strongest and wisest woman I ever walked with. P a g e | 4 Table of Contents …………………………………….

  • INTRODUCTION and a Number of Corridors As Illustrated in Figure 3
    For ease of reporting the whole engagement area has been divided into 37 zones as displayed in Figure 2 INTRODUCTION and a number of corridors as illustrated in Figure 3. This report summarises the first phase of engagement as Stockport Council looks to develop Active Neighbourhood proposals in the Heaton’s. An Active Neighbourhood aims to enable residents to make short trips on foot, by cycle and by public transport in preference to car travel. Figure 1 shows a screenshot from the website (https://heatons.commonplace.is/) which was open for comments between 7th September 2020 and 23rd October 2020. There were 5228 visitors to the website over the course of the seven-week engagement period. During this time, 7788 contributions were recorded in the form of a comment (1298 representing 17%) or an expression of agreement (6490 representing 83%). The contributions were made by a total of 1331 respondents of which 553 subscribed to receive email notifications informing them of project updates. Figure 2 - Consultation area zones Each chapter of this report will contain a table summarising the comments within each zone / corridor and each comment will be allocated a reference number.

  • Making Ripples and Waves Through Feminist Knowledge Production and Activism
    INTRODUCTION Making Ripples and Waves through Feminist Knowledge Production and Activism by Lea Skewes, Molly Occhino & Lise Rolandsen Agustín “A feminist movement is a collective political movement.

I think of feminist action as ripples in water, a small wave, possibly created by agitation from weather; here, there each move- ment making another possible, another ripple, outward, reaching.” (Ahmed, 2007, 3) We took on this special issue “#MeToo, Discrimi- fi ghting for greater inclusion of women, people of nation and Backlash” in order to draw attention to colour, trans or queer people; and that this strug- different feminist researchers’ and activists’ efforts gle typically has been met with backlash.

Vachhani University of Bristol, UK Email: [email protected] Alison Pullen Macquarie Universtiy, Australia Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper critically examines a twenty-first century online, social movement, The Everyday Sexism Project (referred to as the ESP), to analyse resistance against sexism that is systemic, entrenched and institutionalised in society, including organizations. Our motivating questions are: what new forms of feminist organizing are developing to resist sexism and what are the implications of thinking ethico-politically about feminist resistance which has the goals of social justice, equality and fairness? Reading the ESP leads to a conceptualisation of how infrapolitical feminist resistance emerges at grassroots level and between individuals in the form of affective solidarity, which become necessary in challenging neoliberal threats to women’s opportunity and equality.

  • Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture's Showman
    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.
