DESCRIPTION:The Center for Labor Studies & the Urban Studies Research Cluster at the 
 University of California Santa Cruz are pleased to present:\n\nWHOSE CITY? 
 LABOR & THE RIGHT TO THE CITY MOVEMENTS\n\nA one-day conference\n\nDavid 
 Harvey, keynote speaker\n\nFebruary 26, 2011\n\n9:30 am - 5:00 
 pm\n\nHumanities 206, University of California Santa Cruz\n\nWorkers, 
 environmentalists, and urban social movements have recently converged under 
 a new banner: "the right to the city." The phrase refers to the right of 
 city dwellers-now the world's majority-to democratically control 
 development and resources in the cities in which they live .  In today's 
 global economy, this "right" is profoundly challenged.  Social divisions 
 are experienced increasingly in spatial terms- through gentrified housing 
 markets and polarized job markets; unequal access to green space and 
 unequal exposure to environmental risk; and new modes of segregation, 
 exclusion, and policing of public space. Against this backdrop, the process 
 of urbanization itself has become a significant site of political 
 contestation for a wide range of groups, and the idea of the "right to the 
 city" both a critique and call to organize.  Bringing together leading 
 scholars, practitioners, and activists from across California and the U.S., 
 "Whose City?" will provide an opportunity to think critically and 
 creatively about these emerging labor and urban-based coalitions-- from 
 their historic roots to their possible futures, from their local to their 
 global manifestations.\n\nFor more information about the event, go to:
