Recapturing Democracy — How Neoliberal Urban Systems Reshape Cities
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Recapturing Democracy by Mark Purcell as a systems-level analysis of how neoliberal urban governance reshapes cities into competitive marketplaces.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual policies, the episode shows why development pressures, housing crises, and displacement appear repeatedly across many cities—and why these patterns persist.
