Uncivil cities: Insecurity, policy transfer, tolerance and the case of Barcelonas 'Civility Ordinance
In 2005 Barcelona passed an Ordinance to 'promote and guarantee peaceful coexistence in the city'. This put an end to five months of a political race against the clock. In those weeks, incivility made it to the government's political agenda and the proposal was drawn up, discussed, amended and finally passed, generating a heated political debate, capturing the attention of the media and articulating a change of course in the government's approach to community safety and urban disorder. This paper traces back the political and policy process of the Barcelona Ordinance in the context of the literature on the subject, looking at how civility and incivility were defined in this particular local context, but in light of similar processes of 'defining up' of deviancy elsewhere. It ends by highlighting the similarities and differences between similar processes in different countries, the policy transfer mechanisms and the active role played by cities in defining the urban security agenda in and beyond the urban sphere between the 1990s and the 2000s.
