Among the aspects of service delivery in the post-apartheid era, the inequality in the provision of community neighbourhood parks in close proximity to residents has assumed importance. Examining the case of Cape Town, variations in the provision
of parks is examined, particularly with reference to access within 15 minutes by residents. As expected low-income suburbs have the poorest provision, although all income groups suffer in some areas. Suggestions for remedial action are outlined. - (AJC)

Drawing from ethnographic research in the Latino barrios of North Denver, this article deconstructs the history of one small yet vital public space—la Raza Park. During the 1970s, this place, its pool and the many events it grounded, built community
cohesion and fostered cultural identity. In 1981, city authorities went so far as to deploy a SWAT team to la Raza Park to enforce a permit violation. The following summer, they demolished its pool. North Denver is now gentrifying rapidly. This essay

Since its inception in 2001 and subsequent integration into the tri-national Great Limpopo Trans-frontier Park (GLTP), Mozambique’s Limpopo National Park (LNP) has been progressively trans-formed into a functioning wildlife park. Standing behind
this transformation has been a profound expansion ofMozambican state power over and through the park. I address this tension by developing the concept of articulated sovereignty, which understands sovereignty as a heterogenous set of powers that are produced through
“Partitioning the sensible” at Park 51 : Rancière, islamophobia, and common politics
This paper uses Jacques Rancière's conception of the partition of the sensible to interrogate the aesthetic regimes and spatial coordinates that animated public debate about Park 51—the Islamic community center near the World Trade Center site
11th attacks. I conclude by exploring the projects proposed by Park 51 organizers as potential sites of everyday micropolitics that could subtly “jolt” existing orders in the interest of reconfiguring the “common sense” of a community.

Environmental response of a fragile, semiarid landscape (Bardenas Reales Natural Park, NE Spain) to Early Holocene climate variability: A paleo- and environmental-magnetic approach
of the natural park at the Bardena Blanca Depression. Their results demonstrate a quick and strong response of alluvial systems to Early Holocene climate variability in fragile Mediterranean landscapes such as those at the semiarid Bardenas Reales Natural Park.
