A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
In this paper I argue that ‘selective belonging’ (Watt, 2009, 2010) is a useful conceptual lens for understanding how processes of avoiding ‘the other’, especially the poor other, occur in urban and suburban neighbourhoods. Having a sense of belonging to a local residential neighbourhood, a feeling of being at home and part of a community, is a much-debated aspect of city and suburban life that urban sociologists and geographers have investigated and argued over for decades.
