DESCRIPTION:Veronika Eufinger\n\n"Spaces of urban religion as public space
 s? A comparative study of cases from Germany and the United States"\n\nAbs
 tract\n\nThe study of urban religion often focusses the appropriation of p
 ublic space as its central characteristic (Orsi\, 1999\; Rüpke\, 2020). A
 ccordingly\, the overlapping of the production of religious and secular sp
 aces\, as well as the processing of resulting conflicts are often the focu
 s of research. Contrary to this\, in cases of new urban centralizations\,
  in which new centers and associated peripheries are formed (Lefebvre\, 20
 14)\, religious actors appear as producers and partly as owners of public 
 space: In the context of new development areas and decentralized shopping 
 centers in Germany the Christian majority churches are strongly involved i
 n the production of public space through private investors or neighborhood
  managers. In the United States congregations even become the owners of so
 -called Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) for example through property 
 associations.\n\nBased on three cases from Oberhausen\, Hamburg and New Yo
 rk City\, I explore the extent to which these public spaces supported by r
 eligious congregations are spaces of public religion in the sense of its d
 eprivatization (Casanova\, 2008)\, if those churches act as parts of the c
 ivil society and if the phenomenon is to be considered as a sign of the po
 st-secular city (Knott\, 2010\; Beaumont & Baker\, 2011) or as a sacraliza
 tion (Krech\, 2011) of public space. This needs to be taken in the light o
 f a change in urban spatial logic\, which is characterized in urban develo
 pment research as the Americanization of the European city\, also referred
  to as the market orientation of public planning (Jessen\, 2002). Last but
  not least\, the problem needs to be addressed if religious communities ca
 n produce public spaces at all if the criteria of the incomplete integrati
 on of the individual in the public sphere (Siebel\, 2007) and the commonal
 ity of the public (Arendt\, 1960) are compared to the comprehensive religi
 ous integration of the human being (Gabriel\, 1999).
