Resilience in the post-welfare inner city? Voluntary sector geographies in London, Los Angeles and Sydney

This presentation focuses on how to redeem the concept of resilience for a critical geography. I underline several key areas of debate - around adaptation, resistance, transformation and survival - and illustrate with material from my current book, specifically the 'how' of resilience via the on-the-ground processes surrounding the fate of precarious inner-city areas deemed 'service hubs' (e.g. clusters of voluntary sector organizations) faced with the threat of gentrification-induced displacement. Put as a question, what accounts for service-hub resilience when other precarious arrangements of collective consumption (especially social housing) have been severely curtailed or fallen by the wayside entirely?
