Spatial Practices: Tools and Techniques in the Geopolitics of Urban Growth Managementnt ambulances, clean hospitals, good administration, access to new medical research, and well-trained and slightly cocky surgeons—to name only a few. Yet no discussion of patients, dying or otherwise, is possible without detailed attention to the tools and techniques of contemporary medical practice

The Portland City-Region: Excavating the “Geopolitics of Success”ton on the West Coast seems a particularly odd formulation, Portland is actually situated some seventy miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and, though located at the confluence of two major rivers and tied originally to the timber trade, this city of 560,000 is not really a port in the coastal sense

The Seattle-Tacoma City-Region: Rescaling the Spaces of Fragmented Places-Americans gazed upon the nineteenth-century Pacific Northwest. And while we only now see—possibly in the eleventh hour—the disturbing truth of Chief .’s wisdom, we also see that his ideas can be applied to more contemporary problems within society, in particular to people living in shared territori

Greater Baltimore: Hope through Smart Growth and the Geopolitics of Retreat maps the growth of soup kitchens and the decline of economic opportunities for workers and minorities. He also juxtaposes the global vibrancy of Johns Hopkins University, home to one of the country’s finest medical schools, with what amounts to the third-world life expectancies nearby (pp. 133–155)

Despite his philosophical critique of America’s settlement spaces, Lewis Mumford too thought that everyday “l(fā)ife,” in the quote that began this book,

Spatial Promises: Smart Goals for “Improved” Urban Growth Managementm. In the context of urban growth management, spatial planning goals (spatial promises) articulate not only what communities wish to transform, but also what they wish to conserve. Moreover, they often stipulate the manner in which transformation and conservation might occur, especially as policy relates to the citizenry.

Outside of Baltimore, in the spatial hinterlands of the post-Fordist service economy, he finds only Robert Fishman’s “bourgeois utopias” (figure 8.1):
