Adopting a “cats' cradle” approach to thinking and writing, I follow Dragon Walk's suggestion that we look at urban change from a circuitous route—one informed by performative, imaginative, and sensuous practices. I argue that by activating sensorial sites of encounters between human and more-than-human city inhabitants, Dragon Walk reveals some of the paradoxes of urban growth and points out a chasm between what is being envisioned in city projects and what redevelopment looks and feels like on the ground. Dragon Walk shows that so far, redevelopment on this major corridor has not been able to create more affordable, inclusive, or vibrant urban forms and urges us to pay attention to the stalled times of ruination and housing precarity. In this process, it questions an understanding of urban change modeled on growth, forward temporality, and the city as a human-centered built environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ciso.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145737805","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}

This article charts a series of ethnographic examples of renegade relationality that illustrate its transgressive potential, including new forms of public debate, female-support networks, and networks of redistribution. Key to the transgressive nature of renegade relationality is the formation of fitness spaces as sites of social exception. The social obligations and norms that mediate sociality in other urban spaces are often temporarily suspended within fitness spaces. I locate the formation of fitness spaces as sites of social exception as part of the fitness industry's co-constitution with convergent neoliberal processes in Kampala. Tracing the ways that fitness is implicated in both neoliberal processes of urbanization as well as new discursive registers of self-responsibility suggests that renegade relationality exists not just in spite of neoliberalism, but because of it. In this way, I offer renegade relationality as an unexpected urban excess of neoliberalism, one that might draw attention to the transgressive and even progressive byproducts of the neoliberal era.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145739479","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 this landscape, middle- and upper-class residents have turned to electronic security technologies to fortify their homes against the threat of a home intrusion. In this article, I focus on the Intrusion Detection System (IDS), a widely used electronic security system in Kingston. Attuned to threats through the mobilization of haptic, kinaesthetic, and thermoceptive capabilities, the IDS presents an alternate vision of urban security—that is, one not tethered to the primacy of the electronic gaze. In considering the discourse of electronic security providers and middle-class residents who live in gated enclosures, I interrogate the IDS as an extra-sensory sentinel assemblage and as a critical urban actor. Doing so reveals, I argue, how the IDS is changing how the risk/crime of a home intrusion is being temporally, spatially, and relationally anticipated and experienced both within and beyond the fortified domestic sphere. This article highlights the importance of integrating non-human and non-visual sensorialities into discussions of security in high-crime urban contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ciso.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145751151","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}

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}
