“The global city framework has been critiqued by scholars \u2014 particularly postcolonial theorists \u2014 who note that cities like Mumbai cannot be described as \u2018splintering\u2019 since they never approximated any modern planning ideal in the first place. Moreover, to characterize a city like Mumbai as simply an incidence of \u2018incomplete modernity\u2019 incorrectly assumes the territorially… Continue Reading Postcolonial Urbanization<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

“…it is time to rethink the geographies of urban and regional theory. Much of the theoretical work on city-regions is firmly located in the urban experience of North America and Western Europe. This is not unusual. It is part of a canonical tradition where theory is produced in the crucible of a few \u2018great\u2019 cities:… Continue Reading Geographies of Theory<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
