Description

In Owning the Street, Amelia Thorpe examines everyday experiences of and feelings about property and belonging in contemporary cities.

She grounds her account in an empirical study of PARK(ing) Day, an annual event that reclaims street space from cars.

A popular and highly recognizable example of DIY Urbanism, PARK(ing) Day has attracted considerable media attention, but has not yet been the subject of close scholarly examination.

Focusing on the event's trajectories in San Francisco, Sydney, and Montreal, Thorpe addresses this gap, making use of extensive interview data, field work, and careful reflection to explore these tiny, temporary, and often transformative interventions.
