About Urbanisation Journal

Urbanisation is a response to a particular historical moment of global urbanisation within an increasingly re-arranged North-South world. The drivers and locations of contemporary urbanisation are, once again after a long historical gap, in the ‘Global South’, i.e., the countries of South and Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. The ‘urban turn’—a phrase evocatively used by Gyan Prakash to describe the rising importance of the urban question in India—is undeniable and it raises a new set of questions and challenges for which we possess neither effective knowledge nor adequate practice. Urbanisation seeks to: - Promote theorisation of urban processes from the perspective of wide range of practices that shape the urban life.  - Publish comparative as well as collaborative scholarship that will illuminate the global urban condition beginning with a firm footprint in the Global South. - Provide a platform that brings together and puts into conversation inter-disciplinary scholarship on the urban. - Provide a platform that allows critical and reflexive discussion from and on diverse forms and sectors of urban practice. - Enable diverse forms of knowledge and knowledge production, particularly those that bridge the theory-practice divide as well as disciplinary and methodological boundaries. - Learn from and inform urban policy and practice across a range of domains and sectors.
