Capitalist private property in land and buildings - real estate -
is the ground of modern cities, materially, politically, and
economically. It is foundational to their development and core to
much theoretical work on the urban environment. It is also a
central, pressing matter of political contestation in contemporary
cities. Yet it remains largely without a history. This Element
examines the modern city as a propertied space, defining real
estate as a technology of (dis)possession and using it to move
across scales of analysis, from the local spatiality of particular
built spaces to the networks of legal, political, and economic
imperatives that constitute property and operate at national and
international levels. This combination of territorial embeddedness
with more wide-ranging institutional relationships charts a route
to an urban history that allows the city to speak as a global agent
and artefact without dispensing with the role of states and local
circumstance.
