- 요약This dissertation examines how homeownership regimes mediate the collective production and consumption of cities and shape the social relations forged through these activities. Specifically, I examine how the relations of homeownership generate social groups, drive collective action, and mold beliefs about how resources and power ought to be distributed in society. I draw on two separate empirical projects to explore these themes. The first-based in Mexico City-uses historical records, interviews, and participant observation to examine programs that converted poor Mexico City residents into unlikely homeowners. The second project examines Milwaukee's Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NIDs)-a type of resident-managed special assessment district-using participant and non-participant observation, interviews, and historical records.Chapter 1 uses data from Mexico City to present an alternative theory of the segregation-producing process. In the standard account, residential segregation results from how individuals are sorted in the housing market along pre-existing axes of social difference. How does segregation arise in the absence of market-based housing allocation and sorting? I apply a constructivist understanding of identity to theorize a segregation-producing process that does not depend on sorting along pre-existing social identities. I show how non-market allocation of property constituted new, emplaced categories of social difference by imbuing individuals with group identities because of their shared association with place. The subsequent expansion of market relations to these neighborhoods further amplified group difference as residents used the identities through which they became homeowners to demand protection from market-based dispossession. I show how identity can be the product of redistributive policy and market-making, not just a signal to which policy and markets respond.Chapter 2 asks how groups develop collective beliefs that distinguish legitimate from illegitimate market practices. How do these consensuses evolve over time? What happens when they are confronted by alternative models of market organization? Drawing on literature at the nexus of values, culture, and markets, I examine contemporary community organizing around housing and urban development in Mexico City. I show how residents of two classes of neighborhoods-pueblos originarios and former squatter settlements-constructed distinct moral economies surrounding housing based on their collective entry into homeownership. These sets of beliefs evolve over time as economic change alters the structural positions of communities and the functions of property, and as residents transmit these beliefs to subsequent generations. I frame resident organizing against capital-driven urban development as a form of popular market regulation: efforts are oriented not around immediate material goals, but around strengthening state and community commitments to neighborhood-specific moral economies of property.Chapter 3 turns to Milwaukee's Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NIDs). Poverty management and social service delivery is increasingly outsourced to private organizations. Yet, another privatizing force has received less attention from poverty scholars: the proliferation of "private governments" that operate underneath municipal authorities. How does the state's delegation of both the provision of social services and the very powers of government reshape poverty governance? I argue that Milwaukee's Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NIDs)-community-controlled special assessment districts-function as a novel form of poverty governance. By "municipalizing" neighborhoods, NIDs transform the subject of poverty governance from poor households to poor places and their populations. By making property owners in disadvantaged neighborhoods responsible for financing and designing social programs, NIDs also encourage private citizens to assume responsibility for surveilling and evaluating their neighbors. Finally, I show how NIDs drive the differentiation of neighborhood stakeholders into a hierarchy of citizen classes built around their relationship to property: homeowners, investors, and renters. The rights and benefits owed to these different classes of citizens are determined by assessing their perceived financial and moral contributions to the neighborhood.
