Abstract

[Rather than painting a picture of the urban planet with generalised brushstrokes, planetary urbanization calls for critical, localised studies that can offer new understandings of urban forces on the ground for which our inherited epistemological frameworks are at a loss to accommodate. In particular, Brenner and Schmid argue that due to methodological cityismCitycityism, emerging formations and constellations outside recognised agglomerations have long been overlooked in urban studies.
