Sociology

The Political Economy of Public Space and Its Regulation

Quick fact

In New York City, spaces like Times Square and Bryant Park are publicly owned but managed by private business improvement districts (BIDs) that enforce rules such as banning overnight stays and even certain types of photography, effectively turning public land into privately regulated zones.

Why this is interesting

Have you ever noticed how some people are welcomed in a park while others are moved along by security? Who decides what public space is for, and why?
