Previously published as a special issue of Policy Studies, this
volume demonstrates the vitality of the field of urban politics and
presents future challenges for urban political research in the
years ahead. If it does not already, the population of cities will
very soon make up more than half the global population. As the
global urban population continues to expand, the challenges facing
urban politics grow with it. How do we understand the relationship
between politics and urban policy? What are the political
challenges facing citizens and politicians in a radically unequal
developing country like South Africa? How are patterns of urban
governance institutionalised? How might we understand the changing
relationship between hierarchies, markets and networks? And is it
possible to develop a genuinely comparative urban politics in
countries as different as Canada, South Africa and Bangladesh?
Drawing together the work of new and established scholars from the
UK, Canada, the US and South Africa in an impressive and wide
ranging collection of articles, this book demonstrates the
contribution of urban scholarship to answering these questions.
