Overlooked Cities reflects and impacts the changing landscape of
urban studies and geography from the perspective of smaller and
more regional cities in the urban South. It critically examines the
ways in which cities are uniquely positioned within different urban
and knowledge hierarchies. The book unpacks the dynamics of
"overlooked-ness" in these cities, identifies emerging trends and
processes that characterise such cities and provides alternative
sites for comparative urban theory. It is organised into two
themes: firstly, politics and power and secondly, production and
negotiation of knowledge. The authors share a commitment to
challenging the unevenness of urban knowledge production by
approaching these cities on their own terms. Only then can we
harness the insights emanating from these overlooked cities, and
contribute to a deeper and richer understanding of the urban
itself. This collection of essays, focusing on 13 cities in nine
countries and across three continents (Luzhou, China; Bharatpur,
Nepal; Bloemfontein/Mangaung and Pretoria/Tshwane, South Africa;
Zarqa, Jordan; Santa Fe, Argentina; Manizales, Colombia; Arequipa
and Trujillo, Peru; Dili, Timor-Leste; Bandar Lampung, Semarang and
Bontang, Indonesia) makes a timely contribution to urban
scholarship. The volume will be of interest to scholars from the
disciplines of urban studies, geography, development and
anthropology, as well as postgraduate students researching the
global South and third year undergraduate students studying cities
and urban studies, development and critical thinking.
