S P R I N G 2018 URBAN REVIEW LETTER FROM THE EDITORS A magazine of the Hunter College Planning is inherently political; this is something that Hunter students know well. The Introduction Department of to Planning course has many students reading entire books on problem solving and policy analysis, Urban Affairs & Planning as we aspire to not simply write plans from afar but to affect change, using our skills as planners to SPRING ‘18 advocate within the imperfect and at times broken realm of politics. STAFF However, politics is not simply a tool to accomplish goals of planning. Planning itself is a powerful Editors in Chief political tool, one that can be used to accomplish and demonstrate political goals. A zoning change, a Aly Hassell parking limit, or a design for a park are not technical planning decisions but are pronouncements of Atara Lindenbaum priorities, of political goals, and of particular visions of space and community. Our responsibility as future planners is to probe this technical side of planning, determining its larger context. Layout and Design Editor Aly Hassell This issue of Urban Review had the privilege to feature two accomplished and active planners: Com- missioner Mitchell Silver of the NYC Parks Department and Dr. Lester King, Sustainability Planner Writers James Hull in Houston, TX. Both Silver and King emphasize the need for proper community engagement and Beatriz Gil dialogue. Vicky Garvey Ranjana Venkatesh It is time to ask, however, if this focus on process, on stakeholder engagement and communication Atara Lindenbaum suffices. Equitable planning processes may be inherently positive improvements, but our cities, our Andy Lawson Michael Kralovich people, need equitable results as well. -

The Homeless and the Right to Remain in Public Space
RUDIN_PUBLISHERPROOF_3.28.18 .DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 4/14/18 9:16 PM “YOU CAN’T BE HERE”: THE HOMELESS AND THE RIGHT TO REMAIN IN PUBLIC SPACE DAVID RUDIN∞ ABSTRACT In cities throughout the country, homeless individuals are continuously relocated from place to place and faced with the quandary that by engaging in basic life activities they are breaking the law. Many of these individuals and their legal advocates have argued that laws prohibiting the homeless from sleeping or sitting down in public make it effectively impossible for them to exist, violating the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishments and the right to travel derived from the Fourteenth Amendment. However, the vast majority of courts have rejected these arguments because they do not readily fit into existing doctrines. This article argues that the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges provides a mold for homeless individuals and their advocates to recast challenges to anti-homeless ordinances and regularly-issued move-along orders into a more compelling form. In Obergefell, the Supreme Court recognized the right to same- sex marriage by looking at the confluence of several different lines of case law and allowing concerns for equality to guide its substantive due process analysis. This article follows the mode of substantive due process analysis that Obergefell endorsed and focuses on the connections between the right to movement, the Eighth Amendment, Fourth Amendment privacy concerns, the attention to inequality motivating applications of the right to travel, and the Court’s vagueness cases as they relate to vagrancy and public spaces. -

We will consider key questions in planning, such as, Should planning theory primarily be ‘practical’ or should it be ‘critical’? Should planning theorists focus their attention on improving the planning ‘process?’ Or should they instead develop normative visions for the ‘good city?’ But beyond this review of planning theory, we will consider how planning theory informs, and is shaped by, broader intellectual concerns and phenomena associated with the contemporary urban. After all, planning can’t be separated from social context. Theories and practices both inform and are shaped by shifting political economies of the past and present, by a variety of cultural and intellectual traditions, and by multiple imaginaries of the City. In the course we will examine how old and new imaginaries and conceptualizations of the urban articulate with planning theory, and how planning theory in turn informs and is shaped by planning and development practice. -
Intelligent Dialogue: Millennials Summer 2008
INTELLIGENT DIALOGUE: MILLENNIALS SUMMER 2008 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO IT SEEMS THERE IS a shorthand for every generation. Baby Boomers are idealistic. Generation X was defined by MTV; Generation Y by the Internet. But then you come to the Millennials, and the shorthands fall away. Millennials believe that work should be fun and that dues-paying is for suckers. They are willing to sacrifice confidentiality for social connection. Although they can seem shallow, noble causes motivate them. And despite the fact that some (generally older) people may be tempted to label them the “Slacker Generation,” they have a clear and purposeful sense of how they want to live their lives. Understanding Millennials requires getting comfortable with conundrums and paradoxes, and being willing to accept that opinions Millennials hold may seem initially to be in opposition. If you really want to understand Millennials, you need to allow your mind to freewheel. Be like the inventors of vaccines, whose breakthrough came in the form of a paradoxical concept: The way to prevent an illness is to expose people to it. Or think like the people charged with protecting the homeland, who realize that in order to devise effective safeguards against terrorism, it’s necessary to accept that terrorists are willing to die for their cause. In the case of Millennials, the realization required is equally fundamental, especially for a Baby Boomer like me. And it’s this: Millennials don’t want to be like us. They do not strive for the things we have accepted as gospel. That everyone wants to get ahead at work. -

The Struggle for Social Welfare: Towards an Emerging Welfare Sociology
SOCIETY REGISTER 2019 / 3(2): 7-19 ISSN 2544–5502 DOI: 10.14746/sr.2019.3.2.01 THE STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL WELFARE: TOWARDS AN EMERGING WELFARE SOCIOLOGY MARIUSZ BARANOWSKI1 1 Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Szamarzewskiego 89 C, 60-568 Poznań, Poland. ORCID: 0000- 0001-6755-9368, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The main aim of the article is to outline welfare sociology as a potential sub-discipline of sociology and to discuss the issues of broadly defined social welfare. While in contemporary social sciences the literature concerning welfare often focuses on themes such as happiness (psychology), prosperity (economics), or quality of life (sociology), these themes may be considered too narrow and do not reflect the com- plexity of the issue. However, if one considers the definition of social welfare through the prism of material and non-material needs, as well as the needs expressed individ- ually and collectively, it is possible to attempt a comprehensive study of this phenom- enon. The author uses the definition of social welfare to look at research on (a) welfare state regimes, (b) welfare attitudes and (c) issues of work in contemporary capitalism, all to enable the application of research results within the analysis of the title concept. KEYWORDS: social welfare, welfare scarcity, welfare sociology, well-being, ill-being INTRODUCTION The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of social welfare struggles (cf. Marx and Engels [1848] 1948:9). Class struggle, for example, is an important but only a subset of the space/agglomerate of multifaceted battles for social welfare. -
