To address this crisis, programs focus on providing affordable housing and mental health services. Yet this effort seems insufficient to stem the tide. Based on long-term ethnographic research with horse-drawn carriage drivers in Montreal, I tell the story of Jerome, who was experiencing homelessness and psychic distress prior to his unexpected encounter with a horse-drawn carriage. To understand how Jerome reoriented his life, I build on the urban literature on convivial spaces while also drawing on multispecies ethnography's attention to entanglements with non-human animals. I argue that Jerome benefitted from the “atmosphere of conviviality” of the carriage stand, where horses foster spontaneous interactions, encourage lingering and enjoyment, and facilitate connections across social divides. Encounters in convivial atmospheres may also allow people to build routines and even craft a way of life. This research brings a view of homelessness and mental illness as a process entangled with the urban ecology. The transformation of the city, particularly the disappearance of domestic animals such as horses, may be an overlooked yet significant factor in the rise of unhoused people with psychiatric conditions caught in the institutional circuit.</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ciso.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144815192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While cross breezes had often been necessary to cool HDB apartments, the proliferation of air-conditioning since the 1990s has limited the need for cross breezes and allowed apartment owners to rent out individual bedrooms. This transformation created a class of small-scale landlords operating on thin profit margins who often depend on minimizing costs for their own financial stability. I examine how live-in landlords monitor and limit their tenants' use of air-conditioning to minimize electricity bills, producing a daily time discipline that takes agency and discretionary power away from tenants over their own living space. Nevertheless, air-conditioning as a technical assemblage also shapes the landlord-tenant relationship, presenting affordances for tenants to hinder the landlord's surveillance, or for landlords to limit the tenants' ability to challenge their claims. I show how tenants can use these affordances to reclaim some discretionary power over their own living spaces.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144814885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prompted by this renewed displacement, this article explores how, following a rupture with place, refugees build attachments to new places of refuge and considers what happens when such a rupture is not a single event in the past but an ongoing and repeated process. Drawing on ethnographic research with former Yarmouk residents living in Lebanon, Jordan, Europe, and the United States, I argue that attachments to place emerge through material and immaterial accumulations that arise amid refugees' necessary daily practices of dwelling—a process I term accumulating place. That is, the need to get by in new places requires the accumulation of identity documents, permits, apartments, furnishings, languages, social ties, and beyond. It is through these varied accumulations that attachments to new places of refuge emerge. In exploring the experiences of Yarmouk's former residents, I situate these refugees' contemporary accumulations within the broader history of Palestinian displacement, demonstrating that, for iteratively displaced refugees, attachments to place include but expand beyond the binary of homeland and host country.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the city of Bogota, Colombia, the Indigenous Muysca community of Suba experiences urban coloniality through various mechanisms such as displacement, environmental degradation, and epistemicide. Despite having their traditional territories abruptly urbanized, the Muysca engage in embodied practices of contestation through language revitalization, urban gardening, and the occupation of sacred places that have become urbanized. Drawing on ethnographic research with the Muysca of Suba framed within the Participatory Action Research methodology, I explore dwelling as an embodied, everyday experience rooted in place to illuminate the processes through which the Muysca interact with their environment to produce alternative socioecological lifeworlds in the city. These alternative ways of relating to the environment, which I refer to as Muysca dwelling, challenge the logic of the urban coloniality of nature that continues to drive Indigenous dispossession through urban development. By highlighting how the Muysca's embodied practices of dwelling unsettle technologies of urban coloniality of nature, I demonstrate how urban Indigenous temporalities and ontologies are cultivated within the city and reflect alternative processes of Indigenous revitalization and socioecological relations.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
