“…It has been a part of the unprecedented rates of the vertical expansion of built space, seen as the global neoliberal capitalist response to urban population growth and the intensity of people’s spatial and social mobility. Learning to be a neighbor was one of the challenges that residents, like Anna, faced in the new neighborhoods (Chernysheva & Sezneva, 2020; Tykanova & Tenisheva, 2020; Zaporozhets & Brednikova, 2022). Observing life in such residential areas during my fieldwork, I wondered how everyday neighboring is possible in a built environment that is perceived as unneighbourly even by its residents.…”

This article aims to contribute to the study of the relationship between the increasing size and verticality of contemporary cities and the lived experiences of their residents. Drawing on 20 residential biographies of apartment owners in the newly built large housing estates (LHEs) on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, Russia, I explore how their specific geometry and materiality co-constitute everyday neighboring interactions. As an analytical tool, I apply a version of social practice theory that treats materiality as an influential constitutive component of everyday life. The article shows how geometry, including verticality and size, as well as shared materiality, shape and mediate neighboring practices. I argue that diverse neighboring interactions, occurring simultaneously at larger and smaller scales, as well as in visible and invisible modes, are inherent in vibrantly gigantic and monolithic housing. The article coins the concept of elastic neighboring, focusing on the everyday oscillation between residents’ isolation and awareness of each other.

В центре внимания статьи – мобилизация и коллективные действия современных москвичей. Автор выявляет социально-организационные факторы, влияющие на коллективные действия москвичей. Исследование основывается на теориях доверия и социального капитала, а также теориях организационной плотности и мобилизации ресурсов. Работа базируется на результатах массового репрезентативного социологического опроса в 30 районах Москвы, а также данных о зарегистрированных в этих районах некоммерческих организациях. На основе анализа научной литературы автор выдвигает теоретическое ожидание связи между характеристиками взаимодействий и коммуникации людей, а также организационными структурами, с одной стороны, и вовлеченностью граждан в различные типы коллективных действий: как политические, так и неполитические, – с другой. Разработанные формальные модели, базирующиеся на методе логистической регрессии, частично подтверждают гипотезы. Ожидания в отношении связи формы управления домом, частоты межперсональных соседских взаимодействий, наличия собственности на недвижимость, а также срока резидентства не показали статистически значимой связи с участием граждан в коллективных действиях. Напротив, факторы коммуникации – вовлеченность в дела дома (участие в собраниях и подобное) и вовлеченность в соседские/районные социальные сети и мессенджеры – оказались значимыми и показали положительную связь с участием в коллективных действиях всех типов. Организационные факторы также показали положительную связь: плотность гражданских ассоциаций оказалась связана с участием москвичей в коллективных действиях. Результаты фиксируют, что общение в институциональных формах – важное условие для мобилизации москвичей к участию в коллективных действиях разных типов: одновременно и политизированных в виде публичных протестных акций, и неполитизированных в виде благотворительности или субботников.

Housing construction is considered to be one of the main top-priority and investment profitable sectors of the countrys economy. It has become a stable integral part of the market-oriented economy, but has not fully provided a comfortable living environment for the new housing complexes belonging to the residents of the megapolis. The policy, oriented on the ramp-up of the housing stock without improving its quality and the environmental improvement level, becomes a deterioration of the competitivity factor regarding municipal entities, regions and the country. The state is actively involved into the housing policy, developing an integrated urban development strategy of the massive housing areas referring to suburban zones. But its implementation is accompanied by serious failures and conflicts between the residents of the complexes and representatives of city authorities as well as business. The above-mentioned conflict situation leads to the necessity of the citizens initiative groups creation of so as to defend their rights in order to increase the average quality environment level. The process of the residents self-organization oriented on the activists groups formation, whose actions resulted in the corporate initiatives, has been studied as exemplified by the materials of express-interviewing regarding the urban space quality perception by the inhabitants of the Baltic Pearl residential complex of Saint Petersburg. The disconnection between the levels of urban land improvement, tertiary sector provided by developers and the expectations of residents, as well as the unsatisfactory participation of business representatives and the city administration in resolving emerging conflict situations, has led to the creation of activists grassroots organization of the complex. The performance results have led to a collective petition by V.V. Putin. The tool that made it possible to implement this initiative has been the current level of digital technologies and social networks development of the residents of the neighborhood unit.
