Spatial Regulation in New York City is written by Themis Chronopoulos and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1136740678 (ISBN 10) and 9781136740671 (ISBN 13).

This book explores and critiques the process of spatial regulation in post-war New York, focusing on the period after the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, examining the ideological underpinnings and practical applications of urban renewal, exclusionary zoning, anti-vagrancy laws, and order-maintenance policing. It argues that these practices were part of a class project that deflected attention from the underlying causes of poverty, eroded civil rights, and sought to enable real estate investment, high-end consumption, mainstream tourism, and corporate success.
