Urbanisation

‘Urbanisation’, anchored at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements, Bengaluru, India, is a response to a particular moment of 21st century global urbanisation within an increasingly re-arranged world. It aims to publish comparative as well as collaborative interdisciplinary scholarship that will illuminate the global urban condition beginning with a firm footprint in the Global South, i.e. the countries of Asia, Africa and South America.

A platform that brings together interdisciplinary scholarship on the urban, it is equally interested in critical and reflexive discussions on diverse forms and sectors of urban practice. It seeks to do so not only to inform urban theory, policy and practice but also to enable the construction of diverse forms of knowledge and knowledge production needed to enable us to understand contemporary urban life.

The Journal seeks to:

• Promote theorisation of urban processes from the perspective of a wide range of practices that shape urban life.
• Publish comparative as well as collaborative interdisciplinary 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 interdisciplinary 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.
