He Got Game

Abstract

Listening to the score heard in David L. Imbroscio's "Shaming the Inside Game," a composition that challenges us to reevaluate the questions we ask and the questions we ignore, our commentary suggests that urbanists tune in to the historical and contextual politics of today's urban axioms; to the localized histories, actors, and events that nurture ideas and catalyze policy development; and to the changing urban dynamics that are traducing the inside/outside binary that Imbroscio identifies in the work of the liberal expansionists. To this end, we suggest various lines of investigation that urbanists might undertake to engender a metropolitics that really makes some noise.
