Abstract
This essay explores the idea of ‘bio-politics’ in relation to themodern city. The concept is traced through its original Foucauldian formulation tomore recent explorations of the relationship between the body and the city. Weexplore the idea through the emergence of discourses on hygiene, public health anddiffering conceptions of ‘urban order’. We find that thebio-political dynamics of urban space encompass both juridical and dispersed sourcesof power in modern societies. It is concluded that existing conceptions of power inurban space need to take account of those diffuse sources of power that enable themodern city to function in spite of its contradictory dynamics. We also need tocontend with those ‘zones of indistinction’ which appear to lieoutside conventional urban discourse yet reveal much about the hidden dimensions ofurban modernity.
