In stark contrast to what their marketing materials suggest, these supertalls are rarely lived in. Their primary purpose is to store the surplus capital of their ultrawealthy buyers safely—and, of course, to generate jaw-dropping returns for the development companies. Ultraluxury supertalls are present in many global metropolises. Still, in this essay, I will focus on Manhattan, where the skyline has been radically reshaped in the past 10 years by this new crop of skyscrapers, many built around 57th Street, also known as Billionaires’ Row. The paper, accompanied by photographs of the views of some of these towers, will aim to describe this new architectural typology, its target audience, legislative origins, and engineering records and give a feel into what it is like to be on the top of the world—or at least own a few thousand square feet of it. The text is based on artistic research methods: while posing as Gabriella, an apartment-hunting Hungarian billionaire, I accessed and documented the views of 25 of these buildings. Thus, this essay is enriched with details from sales brochures and photographs and transcribed conversation fragments from the viewings.","PeriodicalId":507268,"journal":{"name":"Human Geography","volume":"85 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141818768","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}

It shows that the changes underway are a vivid expression of a VIP model of urbanism, in which the airport authority, maximizing its revenues and land value, naturalizes its emphasis on high-end real-estate projects, and trivializing their social reach. The analysis draws on the case of the Paris city region, characterized by land scarcity and housing issues, and its airport authority, Aéroports de Paris (ADP), one of the largest landowners in the region. Using documents from ADP, a press corpus, and interviews, we highlight how the distinctive geography at play in air terminals changes scale by being projected onto real-estate “diversification” projects, as ADP opts for urbanization centered around the upper fractions of the flying public. This market-led development leads to a form of elite capture that seeks to dwarf or endogenize other existing and potential uses and users of airport land. This article further deconstructs this urban model by shedding light on the multiple tensions it generates and pleads for a more critical debate on airport land uses and planning.","PeriodicalId":507268,"journal":{"name":"Human Geography","volume":"323 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012163","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}

However, very few specific alternative approaches have been proposed in literature, in line with a deficit of post-critical or post-humanist research on ‘renewable energy’ within, and outside, human geography. This paper concerns, delves deeper in, expands and refines an approach for post-capitalist renewable energy development published, called Community Renewable Energy Ecologies (CREE). It advances an ontological reframing of ‘renewable energy’, arguing that renewable energies need to be rethought as affective spatiotemporal relations between humans and the rest of the web of life that affirm and enable difference, autonomy and more flourishing socio-natural assemblages. Also, inspired by Deleuze and Guattari, it sketches rhizomatic renewable energy development for CREE, focusing in more detail on, amongst other things, relationships, alliances, the state's role, learning, scaling out and politics. Rhizomatic renewable energy development consists in a rhizome-like form of forming renewable energies and new socio-ecological arrangements, facilitating deterritorialization in existing socio-natural assemblages and their reterritorialization in new forms. It is constituted by three key features: rhizomatic alliances, minoritarian becomings and emancipatory experimental ethico-politics and rhizomatic learning. Community Renewable Energy Ecologies are re-envisioned as nomadic multiplicities involved in open and immanent post-capitalist experiments of rhizomatic renewable energy development able to nourish emancipation and broader socio-ecological transformation. Finally, the paper invites discussion and debate for imagining alternative renewable energy development futures beyond capitalism and how to facilitate them, in the spirit of ‘staying with the trouble’.","PeriodicalId":507268,"journal":{"name":"Human Geography","volume":"98 37","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140377633","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}

This article connects Marx's unique approach to certain forms of contemporary grassroots resistance and community-based postcapitalist responses to global heating and the totalitarianism of capital. In particular, his appreciation of humans as at one with nature supports a postcapitalist imaginary abolishing the contradiction between humans and more-than-human nature intrinsic to capitalist practices. By reference to critical theorists such as Jasper Bernes and autonomist Marxist authors Harry Cleaver and P.M. (Hans Widmer), the article identifies key principles of a nonmarket socialist form of postcapitalism, i.e. beyond both state and money. Work as waged labour under the rule of capitalists gives way to ecologically and socially constructive activities fulfilling collective sufficiency cogoverned and coproduced by all. Work is freed up as semi-voluntary activity, negotiated within a community mode of production where the product is both predetermined (co-planned) and, later, shared on the basis of satisfying basic needs. In contrast to strictly defined capitalist waged work, now standard across various geographies and cultures, the postcapitalist community mode of production proposed establishes convivial and ecologically appropriate work within local geographies of community sufficiency. Even as universal (global) principles typify the community mode of production, symbiotically respectful relations between humans and nature give rise to unique localised geographies of ecological diversity and pluralism.","PeriodicalId":507268,"journal":{"name":"Human Geography","volume":"119 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140251728","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}

An expression and embodiment of radical solidarity, this article is the product of a research collaboration between an incarcerated justice advocate and a critical psychologist. Critical autoethnographic methods are leaned on to lift experiences of prison as an oppressive institution and illuminate forms of resistance. We strategically and deliberately co-created this methodological approach to joyfully render prison walls metaphorically porous, to seep through surveillance mechanisms (both within the prison and academia), and to build liberatory worlds through our words. Situating mass incarceration as an extension of colonial displacement and enslavement, we dialogically examine how psychology has upheld white supremacy through the illusion of objectivity and neutrality. Psychological concepts like critical consciousness and resilience are re-theorized to center embodied, collective struggles. Calling for psychology to move beyond apologies toward deep structural change and distributive justice, we advocate for centering the experience of those historically excluded in knowledge construction, resource allocation, and leadership. Imagining a psychology of love and solidarity, we urge dismantling oppressive institutions through pedagogies of radical solidarity. Our collaboration—across prison walls—models methodologies of mutual aid, conscientization, and power sharing to build a liberatory psychology.","PeriodicalId":507268,"journal":{"name":"Human Geography","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140263434","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}
