How do decolonial feminist urban imaginaries of urban futures begin to interrogate twenty-first century urban life? The urban futures signaled by the chapters in this book highlight overlapping dimensions of urban imaginaries-capitalism, temporality and the everyday. While the first dimension connects the privatisation and commodification of urban infrastructures to the realisation of state-based and capitalist discursive efforts to make the urban, the second dimension concerns temporal convergences of past, present and future in visions of the urban. It is in these convergences that the recursive logics of coloniality are reproduced in re-mappings of the landscapes of urban inequality and dispossession through which encounters between historical sedimentations of colonial relations and emergent (neo)colonial formations take place. Third, authors take up the everyday as a site of struggle through which women's negotiations and placemaking practices offer alternative decolonial urban imaginaries.

The book is based on papers given at the 'Feminist Explorations of Urban Futures' conference, held in September 2019, at York University in Toronto, Canada, organised by the transnational feminist research project 'Urbanisation, Gender and the Global South: A Transformative Knowledge Network' (GenUrb). It was originally published as a special issue of Urban Geography.

The proportion of the world's urban population is expected to increase to about 57% by 2050, and the share of Africa's urban population is project to increase to 60% by the same year. As a result of this phenomenal growth in urban population, urbanization and urban poverty have begun to dominate the development discourse again after years of focusing on rural development. Housing is a crucial issue for the urban poor, who often lack land to build their own houses or access to financing that would allow them to purchase or build homes and are frequently concentrated in informal settlements with insufficient access to infrastructure, health, and education services. Furthermore, housing provision has largely fallen to central governments, and policy has largely overlooked the capacity of the urban poor-as individuals and communities-to provide housing for themselves.

This book engages these challenges and assumptions, offering insight into political, economic, environmental, and financial frameworks that can help facilitate adequate housing options. Drawing on examples from case studies across sub-Saharan Africa, these contributions center the urban poor in initiatives to develop housing infrastructure, offering lessons for researchers and governments looking to address an ever-escalating housing crisis.

This book explores the role of public spaces in Chinese people-oriented eco-city development, focusing on its contribution to creating sustainable and liveable urban environment. As green urbanization gradually progresses in China, the public space has become essential in enhancing quality of life, fostering community connections as well as facilitating people's interactions with nature. Through typical qualitative analysis, this book examines how public spaces promote community engagement and provide essential public services in the eco-city. Key themes include humanistic planning and social sustainability. This work will be of particular interest to scholars, policy makers, urban planners, offering valuable insights into both humanistic and ecological considerations in the eco-city development.

This book provides an invaluable overview of urban transitions in Africa with a focus on innovations that offer alternative development approaches of these areas.

This book provides a comprehensive discussion of these issues and amplifies the conversation with a particular focus on the opportunities, possibilities and complexities of urban transitions in Africa today, in conversation with Africans, for Africa. Each chapter synthesises insights from academic research, policy reports, case studies, and first-hand accounts, providing a comprehensive exploration of urban transitions in Africa. This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars, urban planners, policy-makers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of urban transitions in Africa.

This book explores the intersection of densification and urban renewal in the context of China's new urbanization, with a particular focus on social sustainability. It shifts the discussion from a citywide perspective to the community level, emphasizing a people-centred approach to regeneration. The approach is novel in its emphasis on social sustainability within densification and regeneration processes. It critiques traditional regeneration methods dominated by local government and spatial design, and advocates a systematic framework to support people-centred decision-making. The intended readership is likely to include urban planners, policy makers, researchers and academics interested in urban regeneration, sustainable development and Chinese urbanization. The content level is likely to be academic, aimed at readers with a background in urban studies, architecture, or related fields.

This open access book examines migrant settlement in regional Australia, offering policy recommendations and conceptual frameworks for sustainable integration. With a focus on key areas such as socio-political contexts, employment, education, health, and family challenges, this book provides a holistic approach to understanding and addressing the complexities of migrant settlement.

Australia's rich cultural landscape is shaped by its status as a migration nation, with over half of its population either born overseas or having at least one migrant parent. While migration is a key element of Australia's growth, regional areas face unique challenges in attracting and retaining migrants. Despite government initiatives, skill shortages persist in regional industries, prompting a need for comprehensive policy addressing migrant needs and regional development.

This book fills a critical gap in the literature, offering valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and service providers. It not only highlights the challenges faced by migrants in regional Australia but also underscores the importance of community capacity-building and support services in facilitating successful settlement.

This book looks at the process of relocating Indonesia's capital from Jakarta to Nusantara in East Kalimantan. It looks critically at the surrounding conflict and its causes, as well as the solution from the perspective of evidence-based-policy and regulatory impacts assessments whose presence is increasingly needed today, to campaign for participatory policies and achieve the right targets. It is not widely known that the process of relocation of the capital took place behind closed doors and unilaterally. Through a closed legislative process, without public debate, and by amending the constitution later, this takeover process took place without resistance from disadvantaged regions. Following this, when the central government faced financing difficulties along the way, its development budget initially relied on foreign investment, then became dependent on domestic financing, both sourced from state finances (APBN) and local resources. From here, the book maps the subsequent problems that arose, the first of which relates to local resources. It shows how local residents are also affected with land evictions without proper relocation. Through political-economic research and analysis, the book dissects the conflict as it appears in central-regional power relations, by exploring the roots of the problem and recommending several solutions, as well as looking at possible future development of the conflict. This timely book is helpful to those who carry out development studies and are involved in making public policy for campus, government, parliament and the business world.

In a world that expects cities to fuel economic growth and attract millions of people every year, there's something unnerving about the phrase "shrinking cities." But thousands of cities are getting smaller, leaving vacant homes, abandoned factories, and oversized infrastructure. Shrinking cities pose a new problem for urban planners: how to manage the transition to fewer residents with a tool kit designed for expansion.

Urbanist Fernando Ortiz-Moya argues that instead of chasing regrowth, cities can embrace their smaller size and build on their unique character and history to enhance life for those who remain. We're Still Here contrasts official responses to shrinkage with spontaneous bottom-up actions led by traditionally marginalized residents in the cities of Pittsburgh, Manchester, and Kitakyushu. These stories show how decline becomes a springboard for social and physical (re)construction and justice-driven urbanism-revealing both the limits of pro-growth planning and the seeds of a new approach that he calls "(Re)City-Making." Far from a cautionary tale, this book makes a convincing case for the shrinking city as a laboratory for innovative, people-centered urban policy and collective empowerment.

The historic centre of the southern European city of Naples has been shaped by opposing urban processes throughout the 2010s and into the 2020s. On the one hand, touristification has led to the financialisation of housing, the displacement of inhabitants and everyday commerce, and the enclosure of public space. On the other, the proliferation of commoning practices by the Liberated Spaces or Beni Comuni-and the parallel experimentation with a distinctive form of new municipalism-has reclaimed urban space for collective use and social functions. The Liberated Spaces are a network of communities that have emerged since 2012 through the occupation and reappropriation of abandoned public buildings. Today, they are self-governed by inhabitants through assemblies.

Through in-depth ethnographic research with these communities, this book explores the everyday production of liberated spaces in the heart of the tourist zone. Moving from the bodies of activists to the body of the city and back, and with an eye to its past histories as recalled through the memories of its inhabitants, it traces the emergence of urban bodies contested between diverging trajectories and possible futures for Naples.

Focused on urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa, this book deals with current challenges facing Africa's rapidly-growing cities. This book presents three studies conducted by Canadian researchers that explore the socioeconomic and political impacts of climate change, unplanned urban development, and renewable energy in the context of sub-Saharan African cities. This book brings together a wide range of facts and insights related to urbanization and climate change. It is relevant far beyond the study context of sub-Saharan African cities, with takeaways that can inform future research into the urban geographies and political ecologies of the developing world.

This book aims to elucidate the operational mechanisms of transfer of land development right within a public ownership system, which not only offers a distinctive and dynamic case study on TDR program to advance institutional diversity in transitional economies, but also serves as a valuable reference for addressing urban-rural development disparities worldwide.

This book posits that, beyond China's reform and opening-up policy and various factors of timing, geographical advantages, and popular will, the institutional innovations introduced in Shenzhen-including allowing inputs to receive reasonable returns, leveraging the market's role, cultivating modern industrial chain (clusters), promoting high-quality economic development, emphasizing contractual obligations and the rule of law, and establishing a limited yet effective governance framework-constitute the unique drivers of Shenzhen's modernization. The city's new designation as a Pilot Demonstration Zone has charted a course for its future development by defining new goals and consolidating its institutional advantages.

The central theme of the book is the exploration and implementation of circular economy principles to transform urban waste management practices. The book focuses on how cities can move from a linear waste management model to a circular system that emphasises resource efficiency, waste reduction and sustainability. Covering innovative strategies, technologies and policies that support the integration of circular economy concepts into urban environments, the book aims to provide practical solutions and forward-looking approaches to creating a more resilient and environmentally sustainable urban future.

How is citizenship constructed from the margins? Peripheral Citizenship examines this question by placing the urban outskirts of South America's most populous city, Sao Paulo, amid processes that transformed twentieth-century Latin America: rural-urban migration and rapid urbanization, the advent of liberation theology, and the rise and fall of military dictatorships. Drawing on oral histories and grassroots archives, Daniel McDonald traces the emergence of a remarkable bottom-up rights campaign through the lives of rural migrants, progressive clergy, and allied activists in Sao Paulo during Brazil's military dictatorship (1964-1985) and the subsequent democratic transition. He unveils how popular movements, aligned with the progressive Catholic Church and leftist political parties, forged a vision of citizenship that combined rights grounded in everyday life with innovative forms of participatory democracy. In the process, they reshaped the city, the Church, and the nation from the periphery.

Ghost neighbourhoods, trainless railways, empty offices-a bottom-up look at China's footprint in British cities.

At the high tide of UK-China relations, Chinese investors pumped billions into British property and projects each year, promising urban renewal and economic prosperity. But as political tides turned in both countries, the money dried up. A decade on, we live in the ruins of this 'golden era'.

Caroline Knowles explores China's global influence from the bottom up. Focusing on London and Manchester, she contrasts Beijing's grand claims with the ramshackle physical evidence she finds at street level: a series of half-finished buildings and abandoned holes in the ground. And this isn't just a British phenomenon. All along the continent-spanning Belt and Road network, Chinese-funded cities are patchworks of incompleteness, the products of relentlessly profit-driven urbanism that puts people last.

China's soft-power city-making falls far short of the dreams displayed in glossy brochures. Combining urban observation with sharp commentary, interviewing property developers, Chinese migrants and other city-dwellers, Knowles paints an intimate, nuanced portrait. This is the material and human fabric of Chinese Britain.

Through global analyses and case studies from both developing and developed regions, this Handbook studies the origins of the concept of creative regions in scientific literature and policymaking, shedding light on the global geographies of creativity from metropolitan regions to the rural-urban divide. It also examines the positive and adverse effects of creativity on the well-being and the economy of regions, as well as the technological and social dimensions of creative geographies, including the role of artificial intelligence.

This Handbook is an essential resource for scholars of regional economics and regional studies, economic geography and cultural economics. It also provides insightful strategies for regional policymakers, urban planners, economic developers and cultural and creative managers.

Contributors explore various experiences, challenges and strategic approaches that define and distinguish mid-sized cities from their larger and smaller counterparts. They evaluate the distinct problems they face, including poor local leadership, out-migration and a lack of local interest, as well as broader issues such as climate change and historical sedimentation. Chapters outline the ways in which these cities can combat deterioration and enhance or regain their competitive advantage, namely by taking charge of their development following a crisis, or even by accepting their 'shrinking' status. Ultimately, this book highlights the struggle faced by mid-sized cities to retain their place at the core of the national economy.

Mid-sized Cities and Regions in Global Competition is a valuable resource for scholars and students of urban and regional economics, particularly those interested in the distinctive and pressing issues faced by mid-sized cities.

Despite political persecution, economic stalemate and military intimidation, this book shows how churches of all denominations continue to grow under the stimulus of vibrant indigenous spirituality and cultural idioms.

Incorporating interviews with Christians from six of the most influential churches in Lagos, this book gives readers a sense of daily life in Lagos for Christians. Through this original ethnographic research, Caleb O. Oladipo explores first-hand accounts of faith and practice in the city, offering a unique perspective to scholars of global Christianity.

A collection of stories from Christians of diverse ethnographic backgrounds, this book shows that Christianity is an integral part of the rhythm of life in Lagos. Christians in Lagos, one of the most populous cities in the world, are dynamic with a confluence of traditions, beliefs, and community.

Taking a glimpse into the impact of Christianity in one of Africa's largest and fastest-evolving megacities, located in the Gauteng City-Region, this book explores how faith shapes the city and its society.

Addressing a scarcity of religious scholarship in the field of urban studies, the book focuses on the Johannesburg-Pretoria corridor and Christian faith expressions in this evolving megacity. Stephan de Beer highlights how city and faith are in conversation and explores various expressions of Christian faith in an ever-changing urban landscape.

Connecting socio-spatial change in post-apartheid South African cities with the changing Christian landscape, the connections and disconnections between Christian faith expressions and urban change are interrogated. Chapters feature wide coverage across both cities, including places like Soweto and Sandton, Sunnyside and Soshanguve, and everything in between. Examining these contexts where global migration and Christian faith increasingly co-exist, the book provides valuable insights to students of religion, sociology and urban studies.

This book explores how urban sustainability is negotiated and enacted through planning practices, narratives, and institutional change. It does so through the case of Aalborg, to illustrate transitions that are shaped by urgency, legitimation and implementation.

It offers a theoretically grounded and empirically nuanced account of how urban sustainability emerges through situated, negotiated, and contested processes of transition. The book provides critical insight into the governance arrangements, planning rationalities, and institutional innovations that shape sustainability in practice, with the city of Aalborg serving as a paradigmatic case. Drawing on four intersecting theoretical traditions - Urban Political Ecology, Just Sustainability, Phronetic Planning, and Urban Sustainability Governance - the book develops the Urban Sustainability Compass, an interpretive framework organised around the logics of urgency, legitimation, and implementation. Through longitudinal analysis, engagement with planning documents, and sustained collaboration with municipal practitioners, the book delivers conceptual depth and methodological guidance for scholars, planners, and policymakers aiming to understand and co-produce context-sensitive, just, and adaptive pathways towards sustainable urban futures.

This book is intended for scholars, advanced graduate students, and critically engaged practitioners in the fields of urban planning, sustainability studies, human geography, and environmental governance. It will be of particular interest to those conducting research on urban transitions, planning theory, climate adaptation, and socio-ecological transformation. The volume is especially suited for postgraduate courses and seminars on sustainable urban development, strategic spatial planning, and critical approaches to environmental policy, governance, and justice.

Aleksandar D. Slaev and Sina Shahab offer practical insights for improving resource management by recognising the institutional complexity of property rights and encouraging innovation in their design. They propose a threefold classification of entitlements, i.e., rights to use, rights to manage, and responsibilities for provision and maintenance, and develop a multi-layered framework for analysing how property rights operate and evolve across institutional levels. Bridging theory and practice with a focus on sustainability, the book demonstrates how property rights shape the governance of both natural and built environments.

A Theory of Complex Property Rights is an essential resource for scholars and students in planning and urban studies, environmental policy and sustainability, human geography, and institutional economics, as well as for practitioners and specialists engaged in resource governance.

This open access book offers interdisciplinary perspectives on cities shaped by shifting borders and contested identities. Rooted in the study of spatial and social re-appropriation, the book invites readers to rethink the urban experience in Central and Eastern Europe-a region defined by political discontinuities and rich linguistic and ethnic diversity.

Historical and Contemporary Challenges for Central and Eastern European Cities engages with the concept of a city to explore attempts to homogenize, categorize, and eliminate differences in history and present day. The essays delve into the interplay between official discourses and marginalized voices that challenge established hierarchies, uncovering both the conflicts and synergies that emerge in multiethnic and multilingual environments. The contributors offer fresh insights into how Central and Eastern European cities navigate their layered identities, fostering a deeper understanding of the region's dynamic and complex urban narratives.

As cities grapple with climate change and social inequality, a growing movement recognizes walking as fundamental to urban sustainability. Creating Sustainable Cities Through Pedestrian Urbanism explores how communities worldwide are rethinking the relationship between mobility, place, and belonging.

Drawing from diverse cities across North America, Europe, and Asia, this book examines the shift from car-dominated planning toward human-centered design. It traces how walkable environments support environmental goals while fostering social connection and cultural vitality, demonstrating that sustainable cities are also more equitable and livable cities.

This book investigates varied examples: cultural programming in transit stations, night festivals and murals, pedestrian-friendly street transformations, adaptive public spaces, and community-led initiatives. It considers how everyday elements-cafe culture, green infrastructure, neighborhood events-contribute to places that are both environmentally responsible and socially cohesive.

Written for urban practitioners, community advocates, and engaged citizens, this book offers insights rather than prescriptions, recognizing that each place requires its own approach to pedestrian urbanism. By examining what works and what doesn't across different contexts and scales, Creating Sustainable Cities Through Pedestrian Urbanism contributes to ongoing conversations about building cities that serve both people and planet. Sustainable urban futures, it suggests, may be closer than we walk.
