Abstract
Internationally, speculative real estate development has become an increasingly central means for states to raise revenue and to govern urban space. This ‘speculative city’ regime is a product of the economic dominance of property investment and the financialisation of urban land; of state transformation across different scales; and of racialised hierarchies of urban citizenship. Challenging these forces is difficult. But, drawing on research in Tottenham, we identify how a broad community coalition successfully disrupted the speculative city – through a combination of tactics within and against the state. The ‘StopHDV’ campaign offers insights for actors seeking to contest racialised speculative urbanism.
