    JUHXXX10.1177/0096144217705459Journal of Urban HistoryChronopoulos 705459research-article2017 Article Journal of Urban History 1 –32 The Making of the Orderly City: © The Author(s) 2017 Reprints and permissions: New York since the 1980s sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/0096144217705459DOI: 10.1177/0096144217705459 journals.sagepub.com/home/juh Themis Chronopoulos1 Abstract This article advances the concept of the orderly city, which has structural qualities and as a vision has dominated ideas about law and order in New York since the 1980s. The realization of the orderly city depended on the successful implementation of broken windows policing. This implementation required considerable reforms in the criminal justice system and the provision of substantial financial resources. Even then, without a considerable decline in serious crime rates, the city government would be unable to justify a war against minor infractions. The crime decline that occurred in the 1990s allowed the city government to equate the safe city with the orderly city. Moreover, as the economy of New York improved, the orderly city was promoted as a precondition of affluence. This article shows how these correlations are questionable and how the orderly city is based on morally and legally questionable actions such as racial profiling. Keywords orderly city, broken windows, quality-of-life, stop-and-frisk, police, New York In 2001, Steven Malanga of the conservative Manhattan Institute wrote an op-ed for the New York Post in which he linked New York City’s improved economic fortunes with the elimination of crime and disorder. Malanga’s claim represents a standard narrative shared by the mass media, the business sector, and many public policy makers around the world.
