Is it all coming together? Thoughts on urban studies and the present crisis: (20) Re-Wire!
'Are the 'places in our cities where most people fear to tread' also places where it is possible to find 'ground to stand on', 'indomitable will' and nobility. Is it possible to re-wire and so redeem these abandoned and fractured communities? Could universities and particularly urban/ socio-spatial studies inform such a process?' Concluding a two-part feature on The Wire and giving a new focus to a variety of work in City, Bob Catterall sets out the above questions as an invitation to debate, clarification, and action. Casting the net even further, he includes a further question: 'Would rewiring be enough in a world of precipitous austerity for some, and of the self-righteous imposition (dutiful, of course) of austerity for others, a planet with even more precipitous prospects of rapid fossil fuel depletion and climatic onslaught?'
