Description

Urban Geopolitics: Rethinking Planning in Contested Cities offers a fresh perspective on modern urban studies. While much recent research relies on a narrow selection of American and European case studies, this book moves beyond those common patterns. It challenges the tendency to focus on abstract city levels that ignore local contexts and specific regional needs. This Routledge publication argues for a new way to study and compare different contested cities. By moving away from loosely defined urban theories, the text provides a framework for understanding how local environments shape planning and political dynamics. It directly questions long-standing Euro-centric academic knowledge production, making it an essential resource for those looking to expand their understanding of global urbanism. Whether you are a researcher, student, or professional, this book provides the tools to look past traditional academic boundaries. It encourages a shift toward comparative perspectives that value diverse local realities over repetitive, Western-centric models. Gain a deeper understanding of how contested urban spaces function through a more inclusive and geographically diverse lens.
