本文着眼于当代城市行动主义，因为它动员周围的政策和冲突的特点，相对特权的西方城市的全球北方。它首先分析了新自由主义城市主义的特殊性及其对城市社会运动（之间的分歧）的影响，其次着眼于今天的运动如何超越目前的困境，这是在更多和更少的特权运动团体之间的紧张关系占据不同的战略地位。与创造性城市政治的广泛趋势相对应，城市运动的一个部门蓬勃发展，受益于创新政策，促进替代和（亚）文化活动;另一方面，围绕紧缩城市主义的各种运动在很大程度上与左派，自治和反文化运动保持距离。这些分歧开始通过新形式的（后）占领合作来弥合，这些合作将紧缩受害者和其他城市“弃儿”群体与（通常是中产阶级）激进活动家聚集在一起，让双方承认他们的差异。有人认为，这是反对新自由主义城市主义排他性的斗争取得成效的必要条件。
The paper looks at contemporary urban activism as it mobilizes around policies and conflicts characteristic of the comparatively privileged Western cities of the global North. It first analyzes the particularities of neoliberal urbanism and its implications for (divisions between) urban social movements, and secondly looks at how today's movements might move beyond their current predicaments, which lie in the tensions between more and less privileged movement groups occupying rather different strategic positions. Corresponding to the widespread trend of creative city politics, a sector of urban movements has flourished that benefits from innovative policies fostering alternative and (sub)cultural activism; on the other hand, various movements mobilizing around the intensifying trends of austerity urbanism have largely remained at a distance from leftist, autonomous and countercultural movements. The divides are beginning to be bridged in new forms of (post-)Occupy collaborations that bring together austerity victims and other groups of urban ‘outcasts’ with (frequently middle-class-based) radical activists, allowing both to acknowledge their differences. This, it is argued, constitutes a necessary condition for struggles against the exclusivity of neoliberal urbanism to be effective.
