Violence of Urbanization, Poor Neighbourhoods and Large-Scale Projects: Lessons from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Abstract: environment can be a form of material and symbolic violence in urban spaces. Urban violence is regularly ascribed, not to cities or urbanization processes, even less to the governments who decide their progress, but to the poor. Urban planning divides the territories of cities into (rich) fortresses and (poor) slums, separated by internal boundaries, using the uncertain way of life in ordinary cities as a starting point to invent a design As an IntroductionHere we propose an analysis of urban violence through … Show more

“…Disorganised urban planning characterises urbanisation processes in cities of the global south, which reinforce socio-spatial fragmentation, and converting the physical environment becomes a source of "material and symbolic violence" (Pedrazzini et al 2014, p. 394) in urban space. Urban violence is therefore seen as an intrinsic part of an urbanisation process that generates certain forms of social and spatial fragmentation (Pedrazzini et al, 2014).…”

“…Recognising these challenges in the study of violence, this article focuses on interpersonal violence manifestations and on urban violence, moving from a conceptual perspective to an analytical one, which 2003) -similar to urban space which is socially constructed -which interacts with urban space, understood from a citizen's perspective. In this sense, a focus on urban space allows analysing the impacts of urbanisation and how the configuration of social -and planning-processes can act as determinant risk factor affecting urban space and in turn inciting certain types of violence (Davis 2014;Pedrazzini et al 2014;Moser 2004).…”

“…The discussions on violence of urbanization (Pedrazzini et al, 2014), on one side, are conceptualized as exclusionary visions (as discussed above) and, on the other side, by delineating structures which enable them. Ellis (2012) outlines how the participatory planning process in Chennai is designed to exclude the marginalized.…”

“…Modern urban planning has a lot in common with the tradition of modern science and its methodologies (Nandy 1988) and is inherently devised to help the state (colonial or otherwise) to dominate, control, and inflict violence (Pedrazzini, Vincent-Geslin, and Thorer 2014;Desai, Mahadevia, and Sanghvi 2020). As Watson (2009) has pointed out, urban planning has developed using few cases from Euro-American cities or the 'metropolis'.…”
