"Third Way" urban policy and the new moral politics of community: Conflicts over the virtuous community in Ballymun in Dublin and the Gorbals in Glasgow

Article Abstract:

The UK's emerging brand of Third Way Urban Policy (TWUP) often associates itself with a kind of anarchic vision of self-regulating and self-reproducing local communities, yet it can be thought of as a thinly veiled moral crusade against vulnerable residents living in deprived neighborhoods. A comparative analysis of the grounding of TWUP in two social housing estates, the Gorbals in central Glasgow and Ballymun in north Dublin, argues that the rise to prominence of moral conflicts over the value attached to different forms of community is fundamentally shaped by the structures of ownership of the social agenda in each neighborhood.
