How is the legal conception of "property" working to eradicate the global urban commons? Contemporary capitalism has advanced this process by producing rampant gentrification, socio-spatial stratification, and racial inequality. This text shows how the concept of "property" helps to generate and underwrite these pervasive urban processes.
