Spatial regulation in New York City [electronic resource] from urban renewal to zero tolerance / Themis Chronopoulos.

• The betrayal of the liberal assumptions of urban renewal -- The failure of urban renewal as a spatial ordering apparatus -- Times Square : New York's most disorderly place -- Neoliberalism, neoconservatism, and spatial regulation -- Graffiti as a manifestation of social disorder -- The declining appearance of order, 1978-1993 -- The radicalization of spatial regulation, 1994-2001 -- Epilogue: the legacy of displacement and exclusion.

• This book explores and critiques the process of spatial regulation in post-war New York, focusing on the period after the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, examining the ideological underpinnings and practical applications of urban renewal, exclusionary zoning, anti-vagrancy laws, and order-maintenance policing. It argues that these practices were part of a class project that deflected attention from the underlying causes of poverty, eroded civil rights, and sought to enable real estate investment, high-end consumption, mainstream tourism, and corporate success.
