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

Da qualche tempo, per la prima volta nella storia, il numero di abitanti delle città ha superato quello delle campagne. E in un futuro nemmeno troppo remoto la maggior parte dell'umanità vivrà in grandi metropoli. Già negli anni Novanta del secolo scorso la sociologa Saskia Sassen parlava di «città globali»: New York, Milano, Londra, Seul, Pechino, Shanghai, Tokyo. Come spiega Federico Parolotto, sono metropoli multiculturali, poco rappresentative dei rispettivi Stati nazionali, sempre più integrate nell'economia globale. Anche la loro gestione segue regole nuove, dal punto di vista delle politiche abitative, turismo, sostenibilità ambientale e nuove tecnologie digitali. Zurigo potrebbe essere la miglior candidata svizzera per questo ruolo, secondo Giulia Scotto. Diverse voci critiche, come quella di Davide Galleri, hanno tuttavia sottolineato le ombre e i limiti di questo modello. C'è poi chi non pensa proprio di trasferirsi in città e celebra piuttosto la bellezza dei paesi e la restanza, termine coniato dall'antropologo Vito Teti, ospite nell'ultima parte del programma.

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.

This month on the podcast we were honored to spend some time with the renowned Saskia Sassen, who is the Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University in New York City. Her research and writings focus on globalization, global cities, states in the world economy, and international human migration. The three key variables that have run through her work are the exploration of inequality, gendering, and digitization. Dr. Sassen shared with us her approach to her work and how she like to break disciplinary silos and bring disparate conversations together. Our conversation was wide ranging as we explored the connections between health, commuting, and urban inequality – especially the role of unjust outcomes and why our societies accept the extreme conditions brought on by the concentration of wealth. We discussed how the financial sector has used increasingly complex methods to squeeze profits out of the poorest people. In addition, we pondered why owning a car has become less important in popular consciousness (among many other things!!) If you would like to follow Dr. Sassen, please find her on Twitter @SaskiaSassen. If you want to get into her work check out her book Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy.

New York City is at a crossroads. So say Carlo Ratti and Saskia Sassen in a recent Bloomberg CityLab article, “The Case for a Duty to the City.” Many wealthy residents are fleeing New York City for the suburbs. Perhaps a third of the small businesses that closed down last year won’t be returning. And, according to a recent survey, executives report plans to reduce office space by 30%. Ratti, the director of the Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Sassen, a Professor of Sociology at Columbia University, say New York has a choice right now: If we do not act, we might end up with a metropolis of zombie neighborhoods, engulfed in a downward spiral of struggling businesses catering to increasingly empty offices. However, if we implement the right policies and foster a quick restructuring of real estate assets, the looming disruption may give us an opportunity—to test out urban policies we have never had the will or the necessity to imagine, much less implement. With familiar options destabilized, the times are inviting us to be innovators. To revitalize the city they suggest policy changes like vacancy taxes, more flexible zoning regulations, and working with governments and nonprofits to provisionally repurpose properties. They make the case that owners and tenants have a “duty” to the city: If you have a property in the city, you should not leave it empty. Why a duty? Because a city “is not just an agglomeration of real estate assets; it is primarily a repository of human vitality, without which those assets would be worthless.” Ratti and Sassen’s article is the topic of this week’s episode of Upzoned, with host Abby Kinney, an urban planner in Kansas City, and regular cohost Chuck Marohn, the founder and president of Strong Towns. Abby and Chuck talk about the challenge of transitioning the financial and regulatory environments in a place like New York, the pros and cons of a vacancy tax, and the systems that encourage land speculation. They also talk about the powerful rhetoric of “duty,” and how it might help towns and cities—including, but certainly not limited to, New York City—get unstuck and start building real prosperity. Then in the Downzone, Chuck recommends Uprooted, the new book by Grace Olmstead. (Olmstead was our guest on Monday’s Strong Towns podcast.) And Abby talks about an upcoming vacation.

A special episode of PUSHBACK Talks! The Filmmaker and The Advocate reconnect with Saskia Sassen, prominent Professor of sociology at Columbia University, one of the world’s most important thinkers on cities, and a central character in PUSH-The film. The trio continue the conversation about why so many people can't afford their homes any longer. Going to the heart of the matter they unpack Saskia’s powerful analysis that finance – which now dominates residential real estate – is an extractive sector, like mining. Once finance has extracted what it needs it moves on without a care for what's left behind. The conversation turns to a deep probing of the meaning and relevance of “money”. When money is used by institutional investors to create new financial instruments, or to leverage more capital is it still "money" as we know it or have we exited the domain of money? The co-hosts wrap up by querying where the uber commodification of housing is going. Have we entered a new epoch where familiar rules and systems that might regulate financialization are thrown out? Will financialization eat itself up? Or will people who are pushing back force change?Produced by WG Film Recorded & Edited by Mikey JonesMusic by Florencia Di ConcilioSocial Media & Support Team - Louise Gustafsson, Maja Moberg & Melinda BergstrandSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/pushbacktalks)

In this episode of City Road we talk to Saskia Sassen about her work on globalisation and the global city by tracing the key ideas in three of her books. We start with Saskia’s most famous book, The Global City, and the idea of intermediation in the global city. We move onto Saskia’s historical and, as Saskia suggests, her best book, Territory, Authority, Rights: From Medieval to Global Assemblages to discuss the methodological tools of capacities, tipping points and organising logics. We end our discussion with Saskia’s latest book, Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy and the ideas of expulsion and the systemic edge in the present. Guest Professor Saskia Sassen is the Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University and a Member of its Committee on Global Thought, which she chaired till 2015. She is a student of cities, immigration, and states in the world economy, with inequality, gendering and digitization three key variables running though her work. Born in the Netherlands, she grew up in Argentina and Italy, studied in France, was raised in five languages, and began her professional life in the United States. She is the author of eight books and the editor or co-editor of three books. Together, her authored books are translated in over twenty languages. She has received many awards and honors, among them multiple doctor honoris causa, the 2013 Principe de Asturias Prize in the Social Sciences, election to the Royal Academy of the Sciences of the Netherlands, and made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government.

Photo by Alex MacNaughton Saskia Sassen is the Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology at Columbia University and a Member of its Committee on Global Thought, which she chaired from 2009 till 2015. She is a student of cities, immigration, and states in the world economy, with inequality, gendering and digitization three key variables running though her work. Born in the Netherlands, she grew up in Argentina and Italy, studied in France, was raised in five languages, and began her professional life in the United States. She is the author of eight books and the editor or co-editor of three books. Together, her authored books are translated in over twenty languages. She has received many awards and honors, among them thirteen doctor honoris causa, over 25 named lectures, named one of the hundred women in science, the 2013 Principe de Asturias Prize in the Social Sciences, election as a Foreign Member of the Royal Academy of the Sciences of the Netherlands, and made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government. In each of the four major completed projects that comprise her 30 years of research, Sassen starts with a thesis that posits the unexpected and the counterintuitive in order to cut through established “truths.” These projects engendered four major books and a new major project “An Ethics of the City.” There are also a few smaller books and about 40 academic articles in peer-reviewed journals. Her first book was The Mobility of Labor and Capital (Cambridge University Press 1988). Her thesis went against the established notion that foreign investment would prevent emigration from less developed countries. She posited and documented that foreign investment in less developed countries actually tends to raise the likelihood of emigration if that investment goes to labor-intensive sectors and/or devastates the traditional economy. In brief, her thesis went against established notions that such investment would retain potential emigrants. In The Global City  (Princeton University Press 1991; 2nd ed 2001) her thesis is that the global economy needs very specific territorial insertions, notably in cities. This went against the dominant notion that leading sectors could locate anywhere given digitization. Further, in a counter-intuitive move she posits that this need for well-defined urban insertions is at its sharpest with highly globalized and digitized sectors such as finance –precisely those sectors seen as not needing cities. This went against established notions at the time (the 1980s and 1990s) that the global economy transcended territory and its associated regulatory umbrellas, and that the most advanced sectors would leave cities. At its tightest, her proposition is that global cities are shaped/fed by the rise of intermediation functions at scales and in ways that go well beyond what we saw in earlier phases of capitalism. In Territory, Authority, Rights: From Medieval to Global Assemblages (Princeton University Press 2006), her thesis is that today’s partial but foundational global transformations, from economic to cultural and subjective, actually take place largely inside thick national settings and institutions. But they do so in ways that denationalize the national. She conceptualizes denationalizing dynamics as operating in the shadows of the more familiar globalizing dynamics. This denationalizing of what was historically constructed as national is more significant than much of the self-evidently global. A guiding question running through this book is how complex systems change. One key finding is that in complex systems such change is not necessarily highly visible: it often consists of existing systemic capabilities shifting to a new set of organizing logics -- in ways that make those capabilities look as more of the same. Her most recent project is developed in two books: Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy (Harvard University Press/Belknap 2014)...

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of FreshEd. 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. www.freshedpodcast.com/sassen twitter: @freshedpodcast email: info@freshedpodcast.com

"The stronger the light and the stronger explanation, the lesser you can see around it and whats happening."Sociology Professor Saskia Sassen of Colombia University talks about how complex systems transforms society radically, but rather invisible by shifting capacities over time. Saskia focus on finance, the underlying steam engine that defines our epoch. She claims that the ownership of the city got trapped in real estate deals and concentrated power and wealth, which led to symptoms such as the election of Donald Trump as president. Yet the city is a place where those without power can get to make history. Today digital is infrastructure, the question is how is it used and how it matters for equity, democracy, and rights? Saskia Sassen encourages people to find a simple DNA code that will enable to scale positive impact.

Your co-hosts chat about hyperloops, hydrarails and that time Newt Gingrich flirted with Cymene. Then (16:54) renowned sociologist Saskia Sassen joins us to share her thinking about our contemporary environmental predicament. We talk about finance as the steam engine of our era, the reasons for its recent rise, and whether Saskia feels that finance can contribute to reversing environmental degradation. We then turn to her most recent book Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy (Harvard UP, 2014), in particular to her discussion of the impacts of mining, and explore her argument that we need new concepts to replace the American-centric categories of mid 20th century social science. Saskia shares her thoughts on the Anthropocene and the Chthulucene and why she is interested in the problem of the “systemic edge” where our categories of analysis cease to capture the intensity of contemporary social and environmental conditions. We turn from there to the current crises of liberalism, water, and immigration and Saskia explains why she thinks that political classes across the world seem so checked out now. She details the unremarkable instruments that have scaled to produce planet-wide environmental destruction and asks whether it's possible to imagine equally simple instruments for doing good in the world, perhaps by thinking and acting more like the biosphere itself. Finally we return to one of Saskia's favorite topics—cities—and how urban space contains our future frontiers of politics and life. What are the ethics of the city? What's it like to walk the city with Saskia Sassen? Listen on and find out!

The Great Corporate Buy-Up: Because of Corporations, Our Cities Are Not Our Own

Think you can tell the difference between a city and a business park? It may not be so clear. A corporate buying boom since the financial crash is gobbling up city property and leaving us with places that are literally not our town. Purchasing took off after 2008, when foreclosure rates were high, bank loans were drying up, and record levels of commercial properties were standing vacant. Last year, major acquisitions by corporations topped a $1 trillion in 100 large cities and by major we do mean major – in New York, that's only counting property-buys of worth $5m or more. The great corporate buy-up is leaving us with more mega projects, more private space, and more people, but less of everything else, most notably, less of everything public, from parks and plazas to elected governance and with all that private space, comes more private police. The reliance on armed private contractors outside of the public command, is not longer only a phenomenon for our Embassies in Kabul and Baghdad. It's increasingly the norm at home. Angry about police violence? Pushing for more effective community oversight? We may get more and more of that, and less and less police. There are other outcomes too: all that concentration of wealth's matched by a concentration of poverty. Last year, the Century Foundation Reported that since 2000 the number of people living in high-poverty slums had nearly doubled. The world's great cities have been places where the poor can make an impact – on the city's commerce, cuisine, its culture. The poor can't do that in a business park. As sociologist Saskia Sassen put it recently, the corporate city's a place where “low-wage workers can work, but not “make”. There are alternative models of development, but first we have to get to know our cities better. Just who owns what? And who's getting tax breaks? Is the great corporate buy-up really what we want?

GLOBALE: Tribunal – A Trial Against the Transgressions of the 20th Century | Symposium Fri, June 19 - Sun, June 21, 2015 The GLOBALE begins with a tribunal at which the 20th century will be tried for its transgressions and crimes against humanity, animals, and nature. Indictments will be sought for genocide such as the Holocaust, the exploitation of the Earth, and the extermination of the animal world by humans. With a conference, a panorama-screen installation, and a film program, the tribunal will present a critical review of the 20th century, a “century of extremes” (Eric Hobsbawm, 1994) and declining inhibition. The three-day event takes its cue from Franz Kafka’s novel »The Trial« (1914/1915) and prominent trials of the 20th century. The historical trials that serve as a model for this tribunal are the dadaist trial against Maurice Barrès (1921), the Nuremberg Trials, and the Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal. As the first international tribunals prosecuting war crimes, the Nuremberg Trials are exemplary of legal proceedings to ascertain individual guilt in crimes against humanity. The Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal, also known as the Russell Tribunal, was initiated by Lord Bertrand Russell in 1966, as a private body for investigating and evaluating American war crimes in Vietnam. It later served as the model for investigating violations of international law; for example, for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal. Our tribunal also reminds us of the legal importance of Karlsruhe – the seat of both the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Attorney General of Germany. The presentations will deal with the history of violence and genocide, expulsion and persecution in the 20th century. The speakers are distinguished scholars and artists exploring these themes from historical, legal, philosophical, and artistic perspectives, who will present their latest research findings. Conference languages are English and German. /// Die GLOBALE beginnt mit einem Prolog am 19. Juni 2015 im ZKM: mit einem Prozess gegen die Verfehlungen des 20. Jahrhunderts und seine Verbrechen gegen Mensch, Tier und Natur. Angeklagt werden Völkermorde wie der Holocaust, die Ausbeutung der Erde und die Ausrottung der Tierwelt durch den Menschen. In Form einer Konferenz, einer Panorama-Screen-Installation und eines Filmprogramms liefert das Tribunal eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Tribunal findet im ZKM an einem geschichtlich belasteten Ort statt. 1915, vor genau 100 Jahren, war Baubeginn des sog. Hallenbaus als architektonisch avancierte Waffen- und Munitionsfabrik. Während des Dritten Reiches mussten Tausende von Zwangsarbeitern hier unmenschlichen Dienst tun. Insofern ist der Hallenbau auch ein Mahnmal der im Tribunal verhandelten Verbrechen. Die dreitägige Veranstaltung wird vom ZKM in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Roman »Der Prozess« (1914/1915) von Franz Kafka sowie historischen Prozessen wie etwa André Bretons dadaistischem Schauprozess gegen Maurice Barrès (1921), den Nürnberger Prozessen oder dem »Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal« inszeniert. Die Nürnberger Prozesse stehen als erster internationaler Prozess gegen die Kriegsverbrechen beispielhaft für die juristische Verhandlung der individuellen Schuld an Vergehen gegen die Menschlichkeit. Das »Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal«, auch unter dem Namen »Russell-Tribunal« bekannt, wurde 1966 von dem Mathematiker, Philosophen und Literaturnobelpreisträger Lord Bertrand Russel als private Nichtregierungsorganisation ins Leben gerufen, um die US-amerikanischen Kriegsverbrechen im Vietnamkrieg zu untersuchen. Später diente es als Modell für die Untersuchung von Völkerrechtsverletzungen, z. B. das UN-Kriegsverbrechertribunal. Das Tribunal erinnert auch an die Bedeutung Karlsruhes als »Residenzstadt des Rechts«, in der sowohl das Bundesverfassungsgericht, der Bundesgerichtshof als auch die Bundesanwaltschaft ihren Sitz haben.

Special Events at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy

Keynote presentation by Saskia Sassen - Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology and Chair, The Committee on Global Thought, Colombia University as part of the conference: Contesting the Streets II: Vending and Public Space in Global Cities. This conference is sponsored by SLAB, the Spatial Analysis Lab at USC Price; The César E. Chávez Department for Chicana/o Studies at UCLA, and the USC Bedrosian Center on Governance. In large cities around the world, the most contested public space is the streets and accompanying sidewalks. As a result of historic migration and immigration to urban centers, the spatial projects vying for this space have multiplied. In particular, the growth of street vending causes us to reconsider some of the fundamental concepts that we have used to understand the city. Vending can be seen as a private taking of public space. It can contribute to civic vitality as well as be an impediment to traffic flow. Vendors are often micro-entrepreneurs who cannot access the private real estate market as spaces for livelihood. The issues about the legitimate use of public space, the right to the city, and local ordinance enforcement/dereliction are often complicated by class conflict as well as the street vendors’ diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds, and their migrant/immigrant status. As a result, recent street vendors’ challenges and protests have been important catalysts with far-reaching political implications about the future of our urban societies. This symposium brings together scholars and practitioners in dynamic dialogue to present empirical cases (both contemporary and historical) and larger global trends. While vending and public space has been the subject of acrimonious debate in many cities between vendors, local government, formal business and property owners, community organizations, pedestrians and alternative mobility groups, it has also been the impetus for some innovative mixed-use and inclusive arrangements for sharing urban space. Since in our largest, densest cities, local governments, urban planners, and citizens will have to find new ways to plan, design, and govern this precious urban public space, this symposium particularly seeks to shed light on possible futures and the key narratives that will need to be re-written. Towards this end, this symposium extends the first Contesting the Street conference that was held at UCLA in 2010, by expanding the geographic focus of the inquiry beyond (while still including) the Americas to gain comparative insights.

Speaker: Professor Richard Sennett is Centennial Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics (LSE) and University Professor of the Humanities at New York University (NYU) (www.richardsennett.com). His work explores how individuals and groups make social and cultural sense of material facts -- about the cities in which they live and about the labour they do. He focuses on how people can become competent interpreters of their own experience, despite the obstacles society may put in their way. His research entails ethnography, history, and social theory. Most recently, Professor Sennett has explored more positive aspects of labor in The Craftsman (2008), and in Together: The Rituals, Pleasures and Politics of Cooperation (2012). The third volume in this trilogy, The Open City, will appear in 2016. The new speaker series brings together film-makers, writers, journalists and academics to tell stories about law, politics, gender and development in the global south, and the 'south in the north'. Confirmed speakers include: Jose Antonio Ocampo (economics); Rajeev Bhargava (political theory); Akeel Bilgrami (philosophy); Partha Chatterjee (political theory/history); Ken Loach (filmmaker), Saskia Sassen (sociology), and Richard Sennett (sociology). After an extremely successful inaugural season, the series continues this term with a focus on land, labour and cities.
