The Routledge Handbook on Spaces of Urban Politics provides a
comprehensive statement and reference point for urban politics. The
scope of this handbook's coverage and contributions engages with
and reflects upon the most important, innovative and recent
critical developments to the interdisciplinary field of urban
politics, drawing upon a range of examples from within and across
the Global North and Global South. This handbook is organized into
nine interrelated sections, with an introductory chapter setting
out the rationale, aims and structure of the Handbook, and short
introductory commentaries at the beginning of each part. It
questions the eliding of 'urban politics' into the 'politics of the
city', reconsidering the usefulness of the distinction between
'old' and 'new' urban politics, considering issues of 'class',
'gender', 'race' and the ways in which they intersect, appear and
reappear in matters of urban politics, how best to theorize the
roles of capital, the state and other actors, such as social
movements, in the production of the city and, finally, issues of
doing urban political research. The various chapters explore the
issues of urban politics of economic development, environment and
nature in the city, governance and planning, the politics of labour
as well as living spaces. The concluding sections of the Handbook
examine the politics over alternative visions of cities of the
future and provide concluding discussions and reflections,
particularly on the futures for urban politics in an increasingly
'global' and multidisciplinary context. With over forty-five
contributions from leading international scholars in the field,
this handbook provides critical reviews and appraisals of current
conceptual and theoretical approaches and future developments in
urban politics. It is a key reference to all researchers and
policy-makers with an interest in urban politics.
