Bulletproof Glass. A Short History of Transparency, Public Space and Surveillance in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.
- Authors
Griffioen, Roel
- Abstract
The article describes the transformation and expansion of public spaces and surveillance in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, the Netherlands. The author asserts that urban renewal has changed the city expansions in Amsterdam into sites of contestation between competing space conceptions and ideas about citizenship and urbanity. The author also explains the conflicting conceptions of urbanity, privacy, citizenship, surveillance and the public sphere.
