To celebrate, we are going to air our first ever FreshEd Live event where Saskia Sassen joined me for a conversation about her life and work. Saskia Sassen is a professor at Columbia University. In 1991, she published the now classic book called The Global City where she chronicled how New York, London, and Tokyo became the centers in the new digital economy. What she focused on was the rise of intermediary services that allowed corporations to operate globally. Instead of seeing place as no longer necessary in the digital economy, she saw certain cities as physical sites that became more important than ever in the global economy. For Sassen, intermediaries concentrated in certain parts of the city and relied on high-level knowledge, like algorithmic mathematics. In New York City, financial services took over lower Manhattan. This left a peculiar reality for the physical buildings in the city. As a result, many people who didn't work in intermediary services were expelled from those parts of the city. And yet, despite this expulsion by intermediaries, new forms of inclusion were created. Today's show was recorded at Musashi University during the Third Japanese Political Economy Workshop organized by Nobuharu Yokokawa. https://freshedpodcast.com/sassen/ -- Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com
Andrew Field, in his new book Rocking China (Earnshaw Books, 2023), documents one of the most exciting moments in the history of Chinese indie music. Through interviews with key players in these scenes over a period of two decades, Field explores the meanings of rock music in Chinese society as well as the many challenges and obstacles to the development of indie rock scenes in China. Highlights include a journey by rail into the heartlands of China with the hardcore rock band SUBS and legendary “rock godfather” Cui Jian. Along the journey to document the live rock music scenes of Beijing, he discovered an emerging world of musicians, bands, clubs, festivals, promoters, record shop and record label owners that were pushing the envelope of indie music for China and the world. This book takes the reader deep into the world of independent rock music that has been flourishing in urban China since the 2000s. Andrew Field is an American historian, documentary film producer, and professor at Duke Kunshan University. Based in Shanghai, Field is a scholar of musical history and creative culture in contemporary China, including the role jazz music played in 20th century Shanghai. He is the author of Mu Shiying: China's Lost Modernist (2014) and Shanghai's Dancing World: Cabaret Culture and Urban Politics (2010), and one of the co-authors of Shanghai Nightscapes: A Nocturnal Biography of a Global City (2015). Yadong Li is a PhD student in anthropology at Tulane University.

The British arrived in Singapore in January 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles landed on the island, establishing it as a trading post for the British East India Company. Singapore declared independence from Britain in 1963 and became part of Malaysia. Due to political and cultural differences, Singapore separated from Malaysia and became independent in 1965. And that was the start of the economic miracle that saw its GDP multiply from $1 billion in 1960 to approximately $300 billion in 2014.

In a world finding its way out of years of a pandemic way of life and restrictions, Aaron Paley's long career in championing cultural connections may be a winning path. Aaron's incessant creative programming in the public spaces of Los Angeles is grounded in his impressive credentials. He received a Masters in Business (MBA) in non-profit Arts Management from UCLA and an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley in Architecture at the College of Environmental Design. To some, Aaron Paley with Katie Bergin, in founding the Community Arts Resources(CARS) organization 34 years ago, accomplished the impossible in a City like Los Angeles, California. They found a way to link culture, the arts, civic institutions and public spaces, bringing diverse peoples together in a sprawling metropolitan environment. Drawing upon models from around the world, here are only a few of the highlights of how Aaron's championing of cultural and arts connections have enriched Los Angeles and inspired other cities: - At the J. Paul Getty Museum and Center's 25th Anniversary, produced ten free weekend festivals in ten different neighborhoods- Co-created, produced and implemented CicLAvia, a car free, open for pedestrians and bicyclists where Los Angeles residents can walk, bike and socialize inspired by Ciclovia, the weekly street closure developed in Bogota, Columbia - The Los Angeles Philharmonic launched its 100 year celebration with a free day long open streets festival and live music event from downtown to the Hollywood Bowl. As a native of an often disconnected City like Los Angeles accustomed to being separated in cars, Aaron attributes his vision of the power of culture and art for creating connections to having been brought up in a Jewish Yiddish-speaking environment. It inspired him to look at the great diversity of his City which was the essence of its civic history. He and Katie Bergin started this idea of cultural programming in 1989 with Community Arts Resources, or CARS, and then created a program called Yiddishkayt in 1994, to focus on the Jewish Yiddish culture and language. They went on to tap into the great art and cultural menu of neighborhoods that sweep through all corners of Los Angeles. Listen to Aaron's exciting ideas for all that awaits the City in the coming years.
La pandemia di Sars-CoV-2 ha svelato la fragilità delle global city: metropoli internazionali, iper-connesse, ultra-innovative che assomigliano alle città-stato medioevali. Qui il virus ha colpito duro, incrinando la tenuta di un modello economico e urbanistico. Ma da una parte all'altra dell'Atlantico – da New York a Londra, a Milano – soffia un vento nuovo. “Conversione residenziale”, “rigenerazione”, “ripartenza”, “riqualificazione” sono le parole che ispirano un profondo ripensamento delle global city all'insegna della transizione ecologica, della mobilità sostenibile, dell'inclusione sociale. La crisi pandemica si rovescia in un'opportunità di sviluppo. Comincia la vita nuova della città globale. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you interested in contemporary urban concepts, like sustainable and resilient city, and their political premises? Summary of the article titled The political premises of contemporary urban concepts: the global city, the sustainable city, the resilient city, the creative city, and the smart city from 2018 by Tali Hatuka, Issachar Rosen-Zvi, Michael Birnhack, Eran Toch, and Hadas Zur, published in the Planning Theory and Practice journal. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how these urban concepts compare. This article presents their juxtaposition and the possibility of them becoming prescriptive for decision-makers and developers. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Urban futures, like the global, sustainable, resilient, creative and smart cities are individually presented in the literature, while in practice they are used together, so there is a gap for researchers to bridge. These ideas can lose their cores and meanings in implementation because they are morphed to the specific city's economy and political structure – these can be cured with constructive criticism and revisions. These concepts should be in the planners and decision-makers' toolbox rather then prescriptive ideas, to use them for real change in urban areas with attention to how they will affect people's lives. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: Numerous studies have focused on the global city, the sustainable city, the resilient city, the creative city, and the smart city, analyzing their politics, ideologies, and social implications. However, the literature lacks synthetic analysis that addresses these concepts by juxtaposing them and exploring their similarities and differences. This paper provides synthetic analysis, followed by a discussion of the concepts' competing and complementary logics of governance and citizenship. The concluding section addresses the importance of taking into account these diverse concepts as political ideas and discusses how these concepts become a prescriptive mix promoted by public officials and private developers. You can find the transcripts through this link. What wast the most interesting part for you? What questions did arise for you? Let me know on Twitter @WTF4Cities or on the wtf4cities.com website where the shownotes are also available. I hope this was an interesting episode for you and thanks for tuning in.

Cleveland has always been a welcoming, gateway city. Immigrants and refugees are playing an increasingly critical role in every facet of Greater Cleveland's economy. According to Global Cleveland, they are twice as likely as native-born to become entrepreneurs, and nearly one-fifth of immigrants age 27 years or older in the Cleveland metro area have a graduate or professional degree--contributing to the "brain gain" needed to support a thriving city.rnrnBut recent national politics and policies have changed the rhetoric around immigrants and refugees, blurring fact from fiction. This has created a challenging environment for newcomers to our country. How can Cleveland leverage the many talents of immigrants and refugees who join our communities, and truly become a global city for all?rnrnJoin us to hear from Dr. Ruth Ellen Wasem, Senior Fellow at the College of Education and Public Affairs at Cleveland State University. From 2016 to 2022, Dr. Wasem was a professor of public policy practice at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin, where she taught courses on immigration and citizenship policies, refugee and human security policies, and legislative development. Dr. Wasem continues to be engaged in Washington, D.C., and as an opinion contributor for The Hill.rnrnDr. Wasem will provide introductory remarks, followed by a panel conversation with local immigrant leaders, Kwame Botchway, Larisse Mondok, and Marina Jackman. The conversation will be moderated by Patrick Espinosa, Managing Partner at Sus Abogados Latinos.
Har byen et eget språk, og hvis det er sant, hva prøver den å fortelle oss, spør tre fagpersoner innen byutvikling fra Norconsult. Denne våren har Norconsult gjort et dypdykk i temaet by og byutvikling, der blant annet bypakker og hvordan gå fra sentrumsdød til sentrumsglød og hvordan man skaper et godt bymiljø er blitt diskutert av selskapets rådgivere og eksterne gjester. I den femte episoden om byutvikling stilles det spørsmål om byen har et språk. Hva sier den og hvordan kan vi oppfatte hva den sier? Mer enn arkitektur Tor Atle Odberg, seniorrådgiver mobilitet og byutvikling i Norconsult, Sander Dekker, fagspesialist bærekraftig byutvikling i Norconsult, og Rina Brunsell Harsvik, senior prosjektleder bærekraftig byutvikling i Norconsult, tar utgangspunkt i et spørsmål professor og urbansosiolog Saskia Sassen stilte i 2014: Har byen et språk? – Som turist ser man gjerne på arkitektur og bygninger når man besøker en by, men i tillegg ser gjerne fagfolk som oss på ting som tetthet og funksjon. Det vil si om det er boliger, kontorer og bykultur, Men som fagfolk kan vi ikke umiddelbart si at dette utgjør noe språk. Eller at vi i det hele tatt har reflektert over dette., sier Odberg. Saskia Sassen, som er kjent for boken The Global City, er både økonom, statsviter og filosof og kjent for sine analyser av globalisering og internasjonal menneskelig migrasjon. Hun jobbet mye med urban sosiologi på 80- og 90-tallet og er svært opptatt av økonomiske ulikheter og miljøutfordringer i bymiljøer. – Byer er kompliserte, siden det ikke bare handler om det fysiske, men det sosiale og alt vi ikke klarer å oppfatte. Byer har også evnen til å skape noe nytt hele tiden og kan endre seg enormt over tid, så det man husker som en fantastisk by kan plutselig oppleves annerledes. Ut fra en bys fysiske og sosiale elementer kan den, ifølge Sassen, systematisk gi oss tilbakemeldinger. Den har et urbant språk, sier Brunsell Harsvik. For å forklare det hun mener trekker Sassen frem eksemplet om en bil, som er bygget for hastighet, som tar av fra motorveien og kjører inn i byen. Den møter en trafikkork som ikke bare består av biler, men også et mylder av mennesker. Plutselig mister bilen sin funksjon til å være rask og mobil. Byen har talt. Ambisjoner Sander Dekker er enig med Sassen. Han tror at ved å se på byens gater kan gatene fortelle mye om hvordan samfunnet er. – Gatene er de mest kjente funksjonelle elementene i en by, de sier mye om hvordan samfunnet er. Den har et historisk perspektiv, den kan forklare økonomiske valg eller muligheter og ambisjoner, sier Dekker. – Men byen kan også fortelle deg hvor du er i byen basert på tilbakemeldinger til deg fordi du opplever mer enn det fysiske. Det er mange måter byen snakker på, for eksempel gjennom graffiti, kunst, eller mangfoldet i byen. Amsterdam er et godt eksempel på det siste og oppleves som varm og fri. Man kan si at byen blunker til deg og sier ‘elsk meg og benytt meg', legger han til. Siden det snart er sommerferie gir alle tre sine byferietips basert på sine favorittbyer og hvordan disse byene snakker til deg når du besøker dem. Hosted on Acast.

The anti-feminist movement in South Korea is gaining global attention. The story has been covered by many western mainstream news outlets including the New York Times, CNN, and BBC. Is this trend a new trend in South Korea? Where does this anti-feminist idea come from? In this episode, we invite Prof. Ju Hui Judy Han and discuss South Korean feminist history and gender politics. We discuss pre- and post-democratization feminist movements, the new president's worrisome position on gender issues, and predict the future feminist movements in South Korea. We end our conversation with the conclusion that although there have been many obstacles, we cannot overlook the progress at the grassroots level.

No sooner had Jeremiah's lockdown experience come to an end when Shanghai announced plans to shut down the entire city as cases of the Omicron variant skyrocketed. Now entering its third week, Shanghai's historic citywide lockdown has imposed unprecedented restrictions and sacrifices on its 25 million people.Among the hapless homebound residents was our longtime friend and colleague, Andrew Field, who – unfortunately for him -- had plenty of free time to talk with us about his experiences during these turbulent few weeks. Andrew reports from the nearby suburb of Kunshan on the mood of residents in and around Shanghai (spoiler: it's foul), the administrative and policy fiascos of the city government, and his ways of coping during the shutdown (Andrew has left us a special musical treat at the end of the episode).Andrew Field is Associate Professor of Chinese History at Duke Kunshan University and the author of three books, including Shanghai's Dancing World: Cabaret Culture and Urban Politics 1919-1954. Andy is also a documentary filmmaker, having produced several films exploring China's underground rock scene and the world of Shanghai jazz. We've wanted to get Andrew on the podcast for some time and will definitely invite him back on soon to discuss other topics – hopefully maskless and in the same room.

In How to Build a Global City: Recognizing the Symbolic Power of a Global Urban Imagination (Cornell University Press, 2022), Michele Acuto considers the rise of a new generation of so-called global cities - Singapore, Sydney, and Dubai - and the power that this concept had in their ascent, in order to analyse the general relationship between global city theory and its urban public policy practice. The global city is often invoked in theory and practice as an ideal model of development and a logic of internationalization for cities the world over. But the global city also creates deep social polarization and challenges how much local planning can achieve in a world economy. Presenting a unique elite ethnography in Singapore, Sydney, and Dubai, Acuto discusses the global urban discourses, aspirations, and strategies vital to the planning and management of such metropolitan growth. The global city, he shows, is not one single idea, but a complex of ways to imagine a place to be global and aspirations to make it so, often deeply steeped in politics. His resulting book is a call to reconcile proponents and critics of the global city toward a more explicit engagement with the politics of this global urban imagination. Rituparna Patgiri, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi. She has a PhD in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. Her research interests lie in the areas of food, media, gender and public. She is also one of the co-founders of Doing Sociology. Patgiri can be reached at @Rituparna37 on Twitter.

Yasmin Fahr, Rachel Roddy and Regula Ysewjin: a global city view on lockdown, food and community
What role do cities and their mayors have in combating climate change? With more than half the world's population living in urban areas and estimates that climate change could cost the world's major cities twice as much as the rest of the planet – city mayors are dedicated to finding solutions for climate mitigation and resilience. Nearly 50 mayors from cities around the world will convene in Chicago for the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy's North American Climate Summit. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs will host a panel with global city mayors highlighting their efforts to tackle climate change. The panel will be moderated by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.
On this week's episode of the podcast, Dominic and Cymene relate their fave holiday traditions and identify the one thing that any gift-giving culture should absolutely avoid giving. Then (14:51) to help process our season of hyperconsumption, we welcome to the pod Cindy Isenhour from the University of Maine, co-author of Sustainability in the Global City, (http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=1107076285), to talk about her recent research on displaced emissions from the Global North to the Global South. We discuss how the quest to green energy production often neglects the problem of rising commodity consumption and Cindy tells us her thoughts on whether it is possible to decouple economic growth from ecological harm. We talk about Sweden, the first country to officially recognize their displaced emissions, and how Swedish corporatism and cosmopolitanism contributed to that move. We cover Sweden's efforts to improve China's carbon efficiency, and how its new tax incentives to encourage reuse and repair of existing commodities are in tension with the government's hesitation to restrict choice and consumer freedom. Then we turn to her new research on secondary consumption and the vibrant reuse culture of Maine. We reflect on how cheap fossil fuels make it easy to replace instead of reuse and what we in the North might be able to learn from the repair cultures of the South. And we debate whether cities can be the leading edge of climate progress given their own metabolic rift with respect to where their food and energy comes from. Finally, Cindy shares her own gift giving tips. Wishing all of our listeners a peaceful and beautiful holiday week. PS Here's a photo of the Cultures of Energy rainbow xmas tree!
Argentina is charting a new course. Since the election of Mauricio Macri as president in 2015, the country has begun moving away from populist policies and towards free-market strategies. By cutting export taxes, halting currency controls, and devaluing the peso, Macri is trying to boost growth, improve the business environment, and win back international market confidence. Yet will these reforms be enough to overcome the legacy of protectionist policies? Join the Council on Global Affairs and Ambassador Lousteau for a discussion of Argentina's economic reforms and the way ahead for international investments in the country.
How is youth culture changing in a globalised city? In Urban Multiculture: Youth, Politics and Transformations in a Global City Malcolm James, a lecturer at the University of Sussex, introduces the concept of Urban Multiculture as a framework for understanding his ethnographic research in East London. The book considers memory, territory and cultural practice, thinking through how the politics of class and race, alongside the lived experience of young people in the area, are being reconfigured by technology. This reconfiguration takes place in the context of global flows of people and culture, in a contested and transforming East London. The book demonstrates the importance of ethnographic research, both to how we understand and do politics, and to how we understand the contemporary city. It will be of interested to any scholar of urban studies, as well as those working on youth, race and class. Dave OBrien is the host of New Books In Critical Theory and is a Senior Lecturer in Cultural Policy at the Institute for Cultural and Creative Entrepreneurship, Goldsmiths College, University of London. His research covers a range of areas between sociology and political science, including work on the British Civil Service, British Cultural Policy, cultural labour, and urban regeneration. His most recent books are Cultural Policy: Management, Value and Modernity in the Creative Industries and After Urban Regeneration (edited with Dr Peter Matthews).
