Urbanization as a process is rife with inequality, in Southeast
Asia as anywhere else, but resistance and contestation persist on
the ground. In this element, the author sets out to achieve three
goals: 1) to examine the political nature of urban development; 2)
to scrutinize the implications of power inequality in urban
development discussions; and 3) to highlight topical and
methodological contributions to urban studies from Southeast Asia.
The key to a robust understanding is groundedness: knowledge about
the everyday realities of urban life that are hard to see on the
surface but dominate how the city functions, with particular
attention to human agency and the political life of marginalized
groups. Ignoring politics in research on urbanization essentially
perpetuates the power inequities in urban development; this element
thus focuses not just on Southeast Asian cities and urbanization
per se, but also on critical perspectives on patterns and processes
in their development.
