This edited volume brings together debates from the Global South
and Global East to explore alternatives to conventional planning in
Southern cities. Embracing the evolving post-colonial theory, the
volume offers 'fragments' of the urban that provide clues to the
larger, often-repeated ontological question that continues to hold:
Why and what does theory from the South mean? The chapters derive
from and speak to the simultaneously homogenous and heterogeneous
South. They focus on presenting the alternative realities of
Southern cities as critical analytical lenses that can build up to
the theorisation of the Southern urban with a potential to
(re)understand the contemporary urban world. The contributions
explore locally rooted knowledge systems, premised on social and
cultural practices, as possible conduits to evolving planning
methods. In doing so, the volume breaks apart the linear modernity
that urban theory from the North relies on. Chapters [Chapter-1]
and [Chapter-11] are available open access under a Creative Commons
