‘The process of political engagement between diverse groups and individuals…urban citizenship involves a politics of connection within, and beyond, particular cities’ (Painter (2005) ICRRDS, U. Durham). The liberal/individualist approach to citizenship stresses the importance of individual rights; the communitarian approach emphasizes the duties of a citizen towards fellow members of the community they belong to (H. van Gunsteren1998). Radical pluralists view the community critically; hence, they uphold policies that maintain differences; social differentiation without exclusion, variety, and publicity (Ganapati (2008) J. Plan. Ed. & Res. 27). Mansvelt (2008) PHG 32, 1 has it that citizenship is produced through consumption practice ‘with specific commodities and the social practices surrounding them’. See Desforges et al. (2005) Citizenship Studs 9, 5 for a wide-ranging review of geographies of citizenship.
