Staff changes at CUS
This is my (Jelke Bosma) last newsletter for the CUS, as I'll start my PhD-research on Airbnb at ASCA (UvA) in February. Rosa will be the new coordinator at the Centre for Urban Studies:

Hi! My name is Rosa Koetsenruijter (25) and from February I will work as program manager for the CUS. Recently I graduated from the Research Master Urban Studies with research on the role of film festivals and fashion weeks in fostering innovation in the cultural industries. Being born and raised in Amsterdam has nurtured my interest for urban development and change. Other interests are tennis and other sports, hiking, abandoned buildings, photography and film.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Masterstudio 2019
Masterstudio: The Post-Growth City?
How can planners rethink the idea of urban prosperity beyond a paradigm of growth? What role does land use policy, urban design, land governance, neighbourhood participation and strategic planning play in enabling a radical transition to a new paradigm of urban change?
The 2019 Masterstudio, taking place between 14 and 19 January, will address these challenges in order to enable participants to imagine a radically different planning paradigm for urban change.

Public event: Rethinking Urban Growth
Are there limits to urban growth and density in The Netherlands? What does it mean ‘to grow’ for large urban agglomerations? And what qualities and values really matter when we plan for growth? During the Masterstudio's public event, on Wednesday 16 January, 20hrs, experts from science and (inter)national practice will explore these questions with the audience.

Urban Security Assemblages: Protection Beyond the State and Beyond the Human
How do governance and citizenship change, as non-state security actors take on an increasingly important role in policing urban spaces and populations? And how do non-human entities, from security dogs to digital technologies, mediate urban security provision? This conference marks the end of Rivke Jaffe’s five-year research project on public-private security assemblages. Keynotes will be presented by Abdoumaliq Simone (University of Sheffield) and Diane Davis (Harvard).

WORKING PAPER SERIES
The revival of the private rental sector under Amsterdam’s regulated marketization regime
This working paper by Cody Hochstenbach and Richard Ronald explores how and why the state-orchestrated revival of the private rental sector in Amsterdam has come about, highlighting how new growth in free market private renting is related to the restructuring of the urban housing market around owner-occupation since the 1990s. More critically, the analysis asserts that the restructuring of Amsterdam’s housing stock can be conceptualized as regulated marketization.
