Gentrification and Its Variegated Emplacements
This article illuminates the variegated possibilities arising from gentrification by analyzing it through the lens of emplacement. It asks how gentrification can be operationalized and managed in ways that intersect with but also supersede conventional modalities of gentrification-induced displacement, including opportunities for discordant spaces and peoples to articulate meaningful relationships with the city. Analyzing the microregeneration of…
Theorising with urban China
Despite global academic interest, the field of urban China continues to be dominated by exceptionalist theorising. Given that the unique properties of Chinese urbanisation present rich cases for an engaged pluralism in urban studies, we argue for theorising with urban China based on two methodological grounds: ‘thinking cities through elsewhere’ and conjunctural analysis. This opens space for mid-level theorisation, which has the potential to con…
Theorising (with) urban China, across the border
Responding to the culture of exceptionalism in urban China studies, our article ‘Theorising with urban China’ proposed different ways of leveraging urban China cases to develop a more global urban theory. Such an approach is ambitious and requires further clarification. The generous accounts of four commentators generated big questions and reflections on two fronts: first, on the relationship between theorising and theorising with urban China, an…
Practice makes perfect
This commentary argues that the practicability and viability of conjunctural analysis as a method can only be assessed and developed through collective efforts at stress-testing. I draw on key elements of Peck's method to offer a reflexive account considering the contours of a conjunctural analysis of Chinese state entrepreneurialism. I show how conjunctural analysis allows me to identify and understand the multiplex causality of China's shift in…
Re‐arranging the urban
This intervention is by a collective of scholars working on various facets of urbanisation in Asia. Focusing on the notion of arrangements/re‐arrangements, it seeks to extend the consideration of urban politics as a matter of surges, a provisional consolidation of intensities, inhabitants and their practices, affiliations and orientations that give rise to continuously mutating forms of sense, care, and collective action. Whereas the work and eff…
Socially Engaged Municipal Statecraft in Urban China? The Shenzhen Biennale as Situated Planning Experiment
In this article I build on scholarship that calls for attention to the interventionist role of the municipality in steering development beyond growth to introduce the situated planning experiment as a mechanism through which municipalities practice socially engaged statecraft. The situated planning experiment foregrounds place-based innovative planning practices that incorporate the participation of citizen intellectuals who act as advocates for …
Doing comparative urbanism
This paper offers comparative conversation – that is, formal comparison across cases invoked in sequential, recursive, and incremental fashion – as an experimental tactic for thinking the urban across difference. It provides a chronological, self-reflexive account documenting the emergence, operationalization, and achievements of comparative conversation across collaborative urban experiments in Shenzhen and London. The account showcases the emer…
Shared projects and symbiotic collaborations
This paper presents ‘shared projects’ and the ‘symbiotic’ relations they engender to capture accounts of state and society actors collaborating to turn individual constraints into collective opportunities for pursuing urban experiments which are institutionally-shaped but also institution-shaping. The concepts are developed through a sequential and recursive comparison – that is, a ‘comparative conversation’– between a case of urban village upgra…
Localism partnerships as informal associations
This paper frames a critical evaluation of the progressive aspirations of localism partnerships by conceptualising them as informal associations. I show how the selective limitations and affordances of the Localism Act and its related policies necessitated and enabled direct, deliberative encounters, and pragmatic working between the Rural Urban Synthesis Society and its local authority, Lewisham Council. These practices allowed them to co‐produc…
Shanghai sacred
The use of religion as a lens for unravelling and making sense of Chinese urbanization and urbanism has well and truly become a critical agenda. Shanghai Sacred is the latest in a recent line of ac
Encountering enchantment
While enchantment has been used productively to think through the geographies of social encounter, extant research – drawing largely from cases in the West – has reinforced a celebratory notion of enchantment, characterized by egalitarianism and serendipity. In this paper we draw ethnographically on encounters between Malay and Chinese users of two street football courts in Singapore, a non-Western context where principles of public interaction c…
Strategizing for Autonomy
What should autonomous formations work towards? How might they strategize to get there? This paper considers these what and how aspects in tandem—a necessary pursuit if clearer pathways to emancipation are to be realized. First, it conceptualizes the relationship between objectives of durability and progressiveness. I introduce “the durability trap”, a situation whereby autonomous formations achieve durability at the expense of their progressiven…

Political tool or quality experience? Urban livability and the Singaporean state’s global city aspirations
In this article, I argue that the concept of urban livability is used as a political tool by the Singaporean state to further its pursuit of global city status. I show how the state uses neighborhood “upgrading” as a mechanism to inscribe strategic meanings of livability onto Singapore’s residential landscapes with the expectation that residents will align their experiences of livability with the former. I use an embodied approach to analyze stat…
