Unlike previous scholarship, which has primarily focused on the citywide, interracial antihighway coalition Movement Against Destruction, this article examines local and grassroots antihighway groups in the white ethnic neighborhoods of Southeast and South Baltimore. A more localized investigation complicates the narrative of the “harmonious” convergence of different classes and races around the highway issue—the notion that “the people” came together to block “the road.” Local antihighway organizing was more parochial and more divisive, mirroring the factionalized racial and environmental landscape of early 1970s urban America. This finding has implications for historians’ understanding of highway revolts in other American cities—several of which have also been characterized as examples of effective coalition building between different neighborhoods, social classes, ethnicities, and races.","PeriodicalId":46838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41313122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I discuss the struggle over property and land rights through the shifting and slipping claims to publicity. In particular, I survey the changing language of the university’s claims to public purpose, as well as the role of police power in enforcing property claims to this space. I explore the formation of the University of California, highlighting the historical continuity of imperial expansion and land grabs undertaken under the guise of “public purpose.” Finally, I analyze the student and community opposition to the university, and its impacts on both the articulation and realization of university’s claims to property rights. I argue that the definition of “public” as articulated by the university’s actions and rhetoric, rests both on its service to students and its role in fulfilling the military-imperial interests of the American state. These claims to “publicness” in turn allow the university to indiscriminately seize land in the East Bay.","PeriodicalId":46838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45511073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the 1970s saw a sudden fading of the Department's authority just as a more collaborative approach to housing policy was emerging. The sunsetting of sanitary enforcement was driven in part by the arrival of a \"new public health\" that became primarily concerned with defining public health problems and solutions through the regulation of racialized bodies and behaviors-a <i>cordon thérapeutique</i>. By the 1980s, this shift constituted an epistemic and regulatory abandonment of SRO housing, leading to the accelerated deterioration of the entire housing stock and costing incalculable human suffering and the loss of lives.</p>","PeriodicalId":46838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban History","volume":"49 4","pages":"821-843"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/00961442211018795","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10350953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The city’s transformation in the late nineteenth century was one of the earliest, largest, and most expensive planned urban extensions in modern Germany. In the process, Strasbourg also came to play a central role in the development of urban planning into an established area of technical expertise, an academic discipline, and an area of professional practice. Initially conceived under the aegis of the empire’s military command, the transformation of Strasbourg quickly involved local politicians, landowners, and independent experts, accelerating the development of urban planning into a practice dominated by what Camillo Sitte described as “technicians and specialists.” The reception of Strasbourg impacted the salient debates in urban planning from the 1870s to the early twentieth century.","PeriodicalId":46838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43128540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It deals with the specific nature and understanding of one of the most important Jewish neighborhoods in Sepharad on the internal levels of Hebrew law and the confessional community, where urbanism is traced out from the privacy of the home and not from the public space and where the neighborhood is linked to the synagogues. Over two thousand documents from the 1492 to 1500 period, from the Archive of the Crown of Aragon, notarial protocols, municipal sources, and inquisitorial trials, have been consulted. A method of vertical cartographic coordination based on geographic information systems is applied as a way of geo-referencing the oldest surviving plans to reconstruct the physical and experiential space of the city in the Late Middle Ages.","PeriodicalId":46838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43848312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
