Abstract: Marketisation of urban service delivery gained renewed intensity in the crisis. Mobilising Polanyi's concept of double movement, we analyse how marketisation of public services both creates and constrains the potential for urban counter movements in the USA and Europe. We identify three main urban responses: 'hollowing out', where cities engage in service cut backs; 'riding the wave', where cities attempt to harness the market; and 'push backs', where cities and citizen movements oppose marketisation. Although the city is constrained by arketisation at national and international levels, we find evidence of push back and, in it, the potential for public service alternatives.
