Abstract
Abstract This article delineates concepts of eco-modernisation and urban sustainability (including its associated discourses), elucidating Foucault's notion of governmentality and examining select moments of contested urban governance in the neighbourhood of Old Ottawa South, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It shows how intensification – a "compact city approach" to urban sustainability – as both policy and practice, serves to both discipline and regulate by "conducting the conduct" of environmental and entrepreneurial subjects. It reveals that zoning has more explicitly become a political technology (albeit a flexible one) for achieving "highest and best use" of private property, privileging intensification projects proposed by developers, through a hierarchical exercise of state power that privileges market processes, while undermining community values and priorities. Keywords: urban sustainabilityurban intensificationurban planningurban governancegovernmentality Notes In general, urban intensification refers to increased densities of residents and/or buildings within the so-called built-up urban areas, although it can also refer to increased economic activity in a particular area and has been connected to processes of gentrification (Campsie Citation1995, Bunce Citation2004, Dale and Newman Citation2009). The City of Ottawa (Citation2007a) defines brownfields as "abandoned, vacant, or underutilized commercial and industrial properties where past actions have resulted in actual or perceived environmental contamination and/or derelict or deteriorated buildings" (p. 3). According to City of Ottawa (Citation2006), a main street is "traditional" if the community through which it runs was developed primarily prior to 1945. These streets tend to have small-scale mixed-use buildings set close to the street, resulting in "a lively mix of uses and a pedestrian-friendly environment" (City of Ottawa Citation2006, p. 1).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
