GOVERNING CITIES - MADELEINE PILL KARTONIERT (TB)

In our urban world  cities are where most of us experience how our economies and societies are
organised and the inequalities which result. This textbook introduces ideas  theories  concepts
and examples to help us understand the political and policy challenges of governing cities 
centred on the principal challenge of how to make our cities more equitable. It poses critical
questions - about how cities are governed  by whom  according to what values  and for whom -
and draws from a wide range of urban scholarship. The 'how' covers urban politics and the
policy instruments which result. The 'by whom' addresses power relations within and beyond the
city and the tensions between different priorities and values. The 'for whom' centres equity
and the role of citizens and collective action in how we are governed. In addressing these
questions  the book provides an overview of the core theories of urban politics and governance
thinks about what happens at different scales  and examines new forms of citizen activism which
herald alternatives for cities. It is a unique introduction to students  policymakers and
practitioners who want to understand and seek to improve urban politics and policy.
