Description
Overlooked Cities Power, Politics and Knowledge Beyond the Urban South explores how smaller cities in the urban South are positioned within different urban and knowledge hierarchies. This collection of essays critically examines the dynamics of "overlooked-ness" in these cities, identifying emerging trends and processes that characterise them. Organised into two themes, politics and power, and production and negotiation of knowledge, the book challenges the unevenness of urban knowledge production by approaching these cities on their own terms. By doing so, it provides alternative sites for comparative urban theory and contributes to a deeper understanding of the urban itself. Featuring 13 cities in nine countries across three continents, this timely contribution to urban scholarship will be of interest to scholars and students researching the global South and cities, as well as those studying development and critical thinking.
