Binary of space-place |
- space, flows, moving outward, encounter, dynamic - place, static inward, private Feminist critique of binaries e.g. male (space) and female (place) - implicit in binary terms is the subordination of one and the dominance of another - exaggerates the difference between the two and underplays similarities - possibility of third term? - as conceptual twins, they offer more together that use of either does separately (Agnew, 2005) |

Agnew (2011) - 4 ways literature treats local |
1) neo-Marxist - space (globalisation, capitalism) has colonised place. but place to act as a kind of iinsurgecy. Lefebvre 1991 2) agency based - places are woven together, they have degrees of permeability between them as the person moves they are blurred or merged. Sack 1997 3) (postmodern) feminist - sees place in terms of multiplicity. Massey 1994 4) contextualist - performative, incomplete. Thrift 1999 |

Smith et al (2007) |
- Area Based Initiatives (ABIs) - in most European cities, the developments of the past 10-15 years have led to growwth in inequalities between social groups and thus "excluded spaces" and racial tensions leading to unequal segmented and less cohesiveness - disparities in neighbourhoods and the opportunities afforded to residents can affect cohesion at the urban and inter-community level (heterogeneous cities) - the notion of scale leads to different perceptions of the "democratic deficit" - in order for social inclusion initiatives to reach the most excluded groups, it appears that long ter community development ork is required to encourage marginilised groups (especially young people and ethnic minority groups to participate) - consultation empowerment process - increased participation can legitimise government interventions in an area and play an integral role in terms of combating social exclusion - but it can also produce resistance to certain forms of development, calls for increased social expenditure that can't be met and demands for more democratic control of projects - many deprived communities may lack the capacity to organise themselves, and the resources that would allow them to participate in partnerships as equal partners - neighourhood regeneration aims to build durable institutional and community capacity across cities but doing this requires the investment of significant resources over a large period of time |

Savage et al (2005) |
- globalization has led to a world charactersied by virtual communication, imstituional deregulation and the movement of capital, information, objects and people at great speed across large distances - identities are diasporic, mobile and transient - many globalisation theorists want to abolish the distinction between the "local" and "global" yet it's clear that without some reference to the local, the meaning of global becomes obselete - globalisation theory emerged in the late 1980s, economic restructuring, state deregulation, the power of large transnational corporations and the proliferation of new technologies facilitating the mobility of goods, capital, people and symbols, led to a new sense f global connectivity - practices became increasingly detatched from their local settings, "no sense of place" - Harvey emphasized how global flows were related to cultural change - Humanist approach of face to face - five distinct ways of constructing the local: 1) the local as context 2) the local as "particular" in opposition to the global "universal" 3) the local as historical residue 4) the local as hub in a network 5) localities are not "given" primordially but are socially produced through processes of boundary definitions - Lefebvre (1991) space is not just an area for conflict - a theory of property as found in Marxist perspectives sees that territory defines landed property and capital - spatial fix - capitalist modernity involes fields becoming more differenetitated, seperating from each other - discursive consciousness - is ampplified through the multiplication of fields - cultural capital involves the seperation of the territory of high culture (theatres etc) from that of low or popular culture (pubs etc) - people are increasingly cultural omnivores - some forms of culture are nw more accessible and inclusove, thus less a market for distinction, less organised around fixed hierarchial tastes - claims to social and cultural distinction continue to rely on autocratic concern to preserve particular, unique locations as "natural" for specific practices - belonging can be seen as socially constructed, embedded process in which people reflectively judge the suitability of a given sight as appropriate given their social trajectory and their position in other fields |

Kearns and Parkinson (2001) |
- in the context of globalisation, neighborhood change is proving unpredictable and resulting in ever wider gaps in fortune and prosperity - the neighbourhood is an area of predictability - security and stability - neighbourhoods and localities can be seen as subject to discrimination and social exclusion - dicrimination of place this can have several effects: - mutually supportive behavious (respnse to exclusion) - poorer neighbourhoods can be seen as an arena for "bonding" social capital that enables people to "get by" - socio-spatial exclusion can affect neighbourhoods of deprived social groups in terms of its impact upon spatial behavious of residents, especially young people - policy and local governement structures have given insufficient thought to the demands of multicultualism - a central part of the British governemt's strategy to renew deprived areas is to improve the way such places are governed through neighbourhood management structures and a variety of means of community empowerment - our social and cultural horizons within the neighbourhood are expanding through increased mobility and forces of globalisation |

Suttles (1972) |
the neighborhood exists at three different scales: 1. home area: provides psycho-social benefits such as identity and belonging through mechanisms of familiarity and community 2. locality: where residential activities occur, providing social status in the community 3. urban distinction or region: landscape of social and economic oppurtunities |
