The renaissance in urban theory draws directly from a fresh focus
on the neglected realities of cities beyond the west and embraces
the global south as the epicentre of urbanism. This Handbook
engages the complex ways in which cities of the global south and
the global north are rapidly shifting, the imperative for multiple
genealogies of knowledge production, as well as a diversity of
empirical entry points to understand contemporary urban dynamics.
The Handbook works towards a geographical realignment in urban
studies, bringing into conversation a wide array of cities across
the global south - the 'ordinary', 'mega', 'global' and
'peripheral'. With interdisciplinary contributions from a range of
leading international experts, it profiles an emergent and
geographically diverse body of work. The contributions draw on
conflicting and divergent debates to open up discussion on the
meaning of the city in, or of, the global south; arguments that are
fluid and increasingly contested geographically and conceptually.
It reflects on critical urbanism, the macro- and micro-scale forces
that shape cities, including ideological, demographic and
technological shifts, and constantly changing global and regional
economic dynamics. Working with southern reference points, the
chapters present themes in urban politics, identity and environment
in ways that (re)frame our thinking about cities. The Handbook
engages the twenty-first-century city through a 'southern urban'
lens to stimulate scholarly, professional and activist engagements
with the city.
