    ABSTRACT PERMUT, TESSA. Urban Planning, Revitalization, and the Reproduction of Inequality

    ABSTRACT PERMUT, TESSA. Urban Planning, Revitalization, and the Reproduction of Inequality (Under the direction of Dr. Kimberly Ebert). Urban revitalization plays a critical role in housing and community development policy, yet sociological research on gentrification, displacement, and racial turnover often ignores or overlooks it in the reproduction of urban inequality. In this dissertation, I focus on urban planners and the attitudes, processes, and ideologies that underlie their revitalization practices in low-income neighborhoods. I ask: What beliefs, preferences, and dispositions underlie planners’ practices? Why and how do urban planners target neighborhoods for revitalization during a period of urban resurgence? In what ways might these ‘planner factors’ manifest in revitalization plans? In three interrelated articles, I use a mixed-methods approach to investigate planners’ attitudes towards common urban planning practices and revitalization methods during a period of high demand for urban housing. I collect data using semi-structured interviews with urban planners and residents of revitalizing neighborhoods; content analysis of revitalization policies; content analysis of city council minutes, bids, and proposals; participant observation of urban planning forums, courses, and events; and finally, quantitative analysis of data derived from an original survey that I designed and distributed to urban planners who maintain membership with the American Planning Association North Carolina chapter. By bringing sociological theory to bear on the field of urban planning, this project challenges the assumed impartial and constrained practices of urban planning professionals. The findings reveal that urban planners are heavily involved in implementing policy aligned with neoliberal paternalism that reproduces race and class inequality. As a whole, my dissertation demonstrates the relevance of race, class, and the political economy to urban planning in our new era of urban housing demand.

Aldershot, UK: Ashgate Publishing, 163-176, all rights reserved. Stephen P. Turner University of South Florida Charles Ellwood is usually described as a junior member of the founding generation of American Sociology. Ellwood fulfils many of the standard stereotypes of the American sociology student of the era. He was born on a farm and, after winning a state scholarship, went to Cornell, as he himself noted, ‘because it was virtually the state university of New York’1. He then went directly on to the University of Chicago, where he was converted only partially from his concerns with social problems to a theorist. He was one of the first Ph.D.’s in sociology from the University, and the first Chicago Sociology Ph.D. to hold a position in Sociology at a major university other than Chicago itself: a large land grant university in the Midwest, Missouri. He stayed there for most of his career until leaving for Duke, an institution with a strongly religious orientation that prized him for his religious writings.2 Ellwood wrote no great books, nor did he coin any basic concepts, with the possible exception of the use of ‘inter’ terms to describe the social process. He was the author of several successful textbooks, including one which invented the field of social problems, largely an American phenomenon, as a part of sociology (Sociology and Modern Social Problems 1910a).

The School’s thought developed from Small’s close association with William James, John Dewey, George Herbert Mead and Charles Cooley; all of whom emphasised the individual and the importance of that individual’s empirical perception or experience, and subscribed to a Darwinian view of evolution and natural history. The School’s early links with anthropology (exemplified chiefly by the work of William Isaac Thomas) and economics, would contribute to the development of an easily recognisable methodology. This was field-based statistical research, for the most part carried out within the urban locality of Chicago, which viewed criminality – especially juvenile delinquency – as the product of purely sociological factors. The University of Chicago Press’s Sociological Series (characterised by its distinctively modern and attractive book design, which influenced the nearby Free Press of Glencoe, Illinois) was responsible for distributing much of the School’s core work, beginning with Nels Anderson’s The Hobo in 1923.

    Read the Introduction (Pdf)

    1 Introduction A society is possible in the last analysis because the individuals in it carry around in their heads some sort of picture of that society. —Louis Wirth t is something of an historical peculiarity that American sociology, an academic discipline charged with the objective of illuminating the Isubstance of everyday life, has possessed such a comparatively low public profile among the social sciences. Sociologists’ valuable investi- gations of and insights into the nature of work and the workplace, par- enting and childhood, consumerism, sexuality and sexual identity, race and race relations, public health, economic inequality, criminality, sub- stance abuse, gender roles, aging, athletic competition, and artistic ex- pression have yet to receive the degree of public attention that is accorded the work of psychologists, economists, and political scientists. Moreover, the very awareness of sociological study and its contributions remains comparatively limited within American public life, so that the ordinary citizen’s access to the formulation of social issues in sociological terms, and with the support of sociological findings and concepts, remains unnecessarily attenuated. This book investigates the origins of this public marginalization of American sociology within the particular challenges its practitioners have faced since the end of World War II in defining who they are and what they do. Social scientists in general have of course struggled since their respective disciplines’ professionalization amid the turmoil of late nineteenth-century industrialization and the bureaucratization of intel- lectual endeavor to determine their proper roles within the discourse on 2 / Chapter 1 and challenges of modernity, and in each instance they have sought to forge symbols and standards to validate their professional competence.
  • The Rise of Urban Sociology

    The Rise of Urban Sociology

    CHAPTER 3 THE RISE OF URBAN SOCIOLOGY special inquiry devoted to urban phenomena was the premier achievement of early A US sociology. The first sociology department in the country was founded by Albion Small at the University of Chicago in 1893. Robert Park joined the department in 1914 and quickly took on a prominent role. Albion Small and Robert Park had something in common: both had traveled to Germany as graduate students to take courses with Georg Simmel. In the 1890s only France and Germany had profes- sional sociologists. Emile Durkheim, a sociologist at the Sorbonne in Paris, had de- veloped a growing reputation in France. Max Weber, the German scholar who wrote on law, politics, religion, society, and much more, was acknowledged as the leading social thinker of his day. And another important sociologist, Georg Simmel, had a growing reputation as the most innovative social philosopher on the Continent. The first generation of sociologists shared a special concern with the impact of urbanization on European society. The political revolutions of the 1800s brought an end to earlier ideas that the social and political order reflected a divine plan. What exactly would the new social order, created by widespread changes in the economic and social structure, look like? In the wake of the social and political changes brought about by the French Revolution, questions about how social order could be main- tained were not simply a matter of idle speculation. These questions were essential to understanding the very nature of the new industrial society that was transforming European cities. Ferdinand Tönnies (1855–1936) is one of the early German social philoso- phers who addressed these questions.

The jurisprudential elements in the school have remained relatively intact, though they have been considerably refined since their initial statement by Roscoe Pound in the first decade of the century,' and in legal circles the theory is still generally regarded as "the most popular movement in jurisprudence in the United States."2 Meanwhile, the domestic sociological components of the theory, drawn largely from the contemporaneous work of Edward A.

    11.469 URBAN SOCIOLOGY IN THEORY AND PRACTICE Department of Urban Studies + Planning Spring 2012 Class meetings: Wednesdays, 5:30-8:30 PM, Room 10-401 Faculty: Xavier de Souza Briggs, Room 9-521, [email protected], voice 253-7956 Office hours: sign up online or make appointment through staff assistant Staff assistant: Harriette Crawford, Room 9-519, [email protected], voice 253-7736 Instructor: Abby Spinak, [email protected], 773-354-2691 COURSE DESCRIPTION This graduate-level seminar introduces students to a set of core writings in the field of urban sociology. Topics include the changing nature of community, social inequality, political power, socio-spatial change, use and impacts of technology and technological change, and the relationship between the built environment and human behavior (and how changes in each interact). We examine the key theoretical paradigms that have constituted the field since its founding, assess how and why they have changed over time, and discuss the implications of these shifts for urban research, policy and planning practice. As such, the course has two goals: (1) To give students a more critical appreciation of the contemporary, comparative, and historical contexts in which planning skills and sensibilities have been developed and could be applied; and (2) To offer a “sociology of knowledge” approach to the field of urban sociology, so as to prepare more advanced students to pursue the urban sociology doctoral exam. LEARNING APPROACH AND EVALUATION The seminar is centered on intensive discussion, rather than lectures, on assigned readings. Students will be encouraged to discuss how the theoretical and practical concerns that have preoccupied urban sociologists can be applied to their individual interests.

We argue that pragmatic justifications reify socially constructed meanings of cities by creating a “spirit of urban capitalism.” This framework conceives of two spirits: the market city, which aligns with neoliberal assumptions, and the people city, which foregrounds a resident- focused model. Using case studies of Copenhagen and Houston, we showcase how these conceptions of cities are justified by elites and residents, and thereby build empirical scaffolding connecting urban economies and cultures.
