This book explores how the concept or urban experimentation is
being used to reshape practices of knowledge production in urban
debates about resilience, climate change governance, and
socio-technical transitions. With contributions from leading
scholars, and case studies from the Global North and South, from
small- to large-scale cities, this book suggests that urban
experiments offer novel modes of engagement, governance, and
politics that both challenge and complement conventional
strategies. The book is organized around three cross-cutting
themes. Part I explores the logics of urban experimentation,
different approaches, and how and why they are deployed. Part II
considers how experiments are being staged within cities, by whom,
and with what effects. Part III examines how entire cities or
groups of cities are constructed as experiments. This book develops
a deeper and more socially and politically nuanced understanding of
how urban experiments shape cities and drive wider changes in
society, providing a framework to examine the phenomenon of urban
experimentation in conceptual and empirical detail.
