Understanding Property Rights in the Contemporary Urban Commons
Under the contemporary compact cities paradigm of sustainability, public spaces have become increasingly important and are increasingly contested. This article uses real property rights as a lens through which to analyse this contestation in an Australian city, focusing on the Darling Harbour scheme in Sydney as a vehicle for exploration. Applying an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to test a “mosaic” of property rights, we map Darling Harbour as a heterogeneous urban commons comprising a set of spaces, each with their own distinct perceived (and real) property rights and conditions that potentially constrain who enjoys such spaces in the contemporary city.
