  • New Urban Worlds

    Inhabiting Dissonant Times

    de AbdouMaliq Simone, Edgar Pieterse ...
    It is well known that the world is transitioning to an irrevocable urban future whose epicentre has moved into the cities of Asia and Africa. What is less clear is how this will be managed and deployed as a multi-polar world system is being born. The full implications of this challenge cry out to be understood because city building (and retrofitting) cannot but be an undertaking entangled in ... Leer más

    Urban Life within and beyond Capture

    de AbdouMaliq Simone ...
    Series series Theory in Forms
    In The Surrounds renowned urbanist AbdouMaliq Simone offers a new theorization of the interface of the urban and the political.

  • For the City Yet to Come

    Changing African Life in Four Cities

    de AbdouMaliq Simone ...
    Among government officials, urban planners, and development workers, Africa’s burgeoning metropolises are frequently understood as failed cities, unable to provide even basic services. Whatever resourcefulness does exist is regarded as only temporary compensation for fundamental failure. In For the City Yet to Come, AbdouMaliq Simone argues that by overlooking all that does work in Africa’s cities ... Leer más

  • Improvised Lives

    Rhythms of Endurance in an Urban South

    de AbdouMaliq Simone ...
    Series series After the Postcolonial
    The poor and working people in cities of the South find themselves in urban spaces that are conventionally construed as places to reside or inhabit. But what if we thought of popular districts in more expansive ways that capture what really goes on within them? In such cities, popular districts are the settings of more uncertain operations that take place under the cover of darkness, generating ... Leer más

  • « Urban processes and change in Africa »

    de AbdouMaliq Simone ...
    In this light, the designation « urban processes and change » acts to concentrate observations on aspects of social economy and the generation of urban cultures that seek to reopen questions about the aspirations and practices which configure specific instances of African urbanity. These considerations also entail the everyday life processes through which urban residents, associated through ... Leer más

    Johannesburg: The Elusive Metropolis is a pioneering effort to insert South Africa’s largest city into urban theory, on its own terms. Johannesburg is Africa’s premier metropolis. Yet theories of urbanization have cast it as an emblem of irresolvable crisis, the spatial embodiment of unequal economic relations and segregationist policies, and a city that responds to but does not contribute to ...

    de AbdouMaliq Simone ...
    Jakarta, a city rife with disparities like many cities in the Global South, is undergoing rapid change. Alongside its megastructures, high-rise residential buildings, and franchised convenience stores, Jakarta’s massive slums and off-hour street markets foster an unsettled urban population surviving in difficult conditions. But where does the vast middle of urban life fit into this dichotomy? In ... Leer más

  • City Life from Jakarta to Dakar

    Movements at the Crossroads

    de AbdouMaliq Simone ...
    Series series Global Realities
    City Life from Jakarta to Dakar focuses on the politics incumbent to this process – an "anticipatory politics" – that encompasses a wide range of practices, calculations and economies. As such, the book is not a collection of case studies on a specific theme, not a review of developmental problems, nor does it marshal the focal cities as evidence of particular urban trends. Rather, it examines how ... Leer más
