Commons scholar Peter Linebaugh describes the street in 18th-century England as part of the urban commons: a vital place for sport, theatre, trade and encounter, a space joining producer and consumer, where social and economic life were inextricable. The wave of enclosures in the late 18th century (a large-scale process of privatisation, closing off and fencing in) affected urban infrastructure as well as common lands. The street moved from a place for lingering and negotiations to its primary role as a thoroughfare. Alongside this transformation, Linebaugh notes in his book Stop, Thief! (the meaning of "traffic" changed from commodity exchange to vehicular motion on the roadways linking forever speed, avarice, and congestion?

The term 'traffic still refers to trade, but is now synonymous with illicit and exploitative practices. This slippage in meaning makes me wonder if the removal of trade from the streets, the common and vernacular, might be considered as another fundamental form of enclosure (at least in England, where I write): the separation of the worker from the means of distribution. Something relinquished that could yet be recovered, by changing how we think and act with infrastructure.
