My article detailing the results of empirical work on urban management in New York City appears in the current issue of Urban Studies. The article, “Defining a public: The management of privately owned public space” (Volume 46, No. 11, pp. 2463-2490) presents findings from 163 site visits to privately owned spaces in Manhattan. I find that while managers employ a number of techniques to control who uses their space (and how), the most dominant management approach is one that carefully selects and filters in an appropriate or desirable set of users. The article is available here; for those without access please e-mail me at jeremy(dot)nemeth(at)ucdenver(dot)edu.
