Contesting Public Space and Citizenship

Implications for Neighborhood Business Improvement Districts

Susanna Schaller

sociolinguistics in the Department of English at the Ohio State University

While research on business improvement districts (BIDs) has considered the constraints BIDs can place on the negotiation of public space and citizenship, little work has focused on the process of establishing neighborhood BIDs (NBIDs), and few scholars have examined perceptions of public space held by actual neighborhood constituents. This article analyzes a participatory mapping project and messages on a neighborhood e-mail list to compare the visions of place expressed by disempowered community members and by an NBID proposal. Our analysis illuminates how local power relations and inequalities can become inscribed in urban planning projects like NBIDs.

Key Words: business improvement districts • community mapping • public choice theory • social production of space • discourse analysis
