Careers in cities
With careers increasingly taking place within and between cities, this article maps the territory for research and theory on careers in cities. Cities present a microcosm for advancing a systemic understanding of people’s careers over time and in relation to broader issues.

We argue that opportunities for further theory development in this field can emerge from addressing some of its fundamental debates, and dev…
