In some cases, tenement areas are simply a transitional residence on the way up, particularly for the young; in others, people will be relegated to live there for the rest of their lives. In most cases these areas have mixed occupancy, with those whose employment is increasingly unstable (including many in the informal labor market and some at its criminal end) next to the stably employed, the secure elderly, and the hopefully upwardly-mobile. Tensions and hostilities between different categories of inhabitants can thus be part of every-day life.
More importantly for our argument, the restructuring of shipping that led to this spatial transformation was a consequence of forces that have operated in capitalist societies for some time, the most obvious being technological innovations in transportation and foreign competition. Unlike hollowed-out manufacturing zones that were land-locked, these waterfront sites were redeveloped. Good highway transportation (a problem that burdened inland industrial sites), proximity to central business districts, and a cultural valuing of waterfronts in terms of recreation and contact with nature all contributed to the greater attractiveness of abandoned waterfronts for investors and for the governments that encouraged and subsidized them.
Postmodern urbanists are particularly committed to the existence of a new urban form. They portray the contemporary city as fragmented, partitioned, and precarious and, as a result, less legible than its modernist precursor. Enclaves of global finance co-exist with “Third World” neighborhoods, peripheralization has accelerated even as concentration continues, new immigrant communities proliferate, and landscapes of consumption invade once thriving production sites. Buffeted by global forces and no longer protected by the national state, the postmodern city is in competition with urban regions around the world for an increasingly mobile capital.
