This commentary engages with Wang et al.'s formulation of planetary rural geographies through the global agro-industrial complex. Focusing on the violent roots, unequal drivers, and differentiated dynamics of agroindustrial development, I emphasize that agro-industrial expansion and intensification often carries forward technological and territorial legacies of plantations, colonialism, and warfare against rural places and people. A focus on monocultural developments as racial-colonial projects of control and extraction, I argue, is critical to understanding the contemporary dynamics of rural crises.
这篇评论通过全球农工综合体论述了 Wang 等人对地球农村地理的表述。我将重点放在农工业发展的暴力根源、不平等驱动力和差异化动态上，强调农工业的扩张和强化往往继承了种植园、殖民主义以及针对农村地区和人民的战争的技术和领土遗产。我认为，关注作为种族殖民控制和榨取项目的单一文化发展，对于理解当代农村危机的动态至关重要。

This article is inspired by Finn's work which historizes the structure of formal–informal dialectic in Africa, arguing that the origin dates to the colonial era. I extend Finn's argument through the prism of formal–informal as a racialized binary embedded in the coloniality of Africa's socio-spatial policies. Drawing insights from African cities generally and Lagos in particular, I argue that the formal–informal binary has always been a tool of colonial domination, which (re)produces and maintains racial hierarchies and racialized displacement in contemporary times. This provides a useful frame to understand and challenge the hierarchical positioning of informality relative to formality.
本文受 Finn 的著作启发，该著作对非洲形式-非正式辩证法的结构进行了历史梳理，认为其起源可以追溯到殖民时代。我从非洲社会空间政策的殖民性中嵌入的正式-非正式二元对立种族化这一棱镜来扩展芬恩的论点。我从非洲城市，特别是拉各斯汲取见解，认为正规-非正规二元结构一直是殖民统治的工具，在当代（重新）产生并维持着种族等级制度和种族化的流离失所现象。这为理解和质疑非正规性相对于正规性的等级定位提供了一个有用的框架。

India's smart cities initiative signals a clear turn towards the corporatisation of urban governance by entrusting planning responsibilities to special purpose vehicles (SPV) constituted as public sector companies in place of elected municipal governments. This commentary argues that the depoliticised approach of the SPV-driven smart city plans could be detrimental to the informal economy in the long run. Municipal politics has been a useful platform for the urban poor to negotiate their claims over the city, as there is a clientelistic relationship between urban informality and political actors. The scope for such negotiations has considerably shrunk in smart cities, with elite coalition bureaucrats and technocrats steering planning decisions.

Elen-Maarja Trell, Bettina van Hoven
In this dialogue, we view geographies of alcohol, drinking, and drunkenness through the lens of participatory video and drawing on research within geographies of youth. We address participatory, visual research methods and ask how such methods might enable researchers to ask (a)new questions about familiar terrain, as proposed by Jayne and Valentine (2023) . In so doing, we re-visit ethnographic participant-led video data from our research on youth and belonging more than a decade ago.

Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin
In this commentary, I engage with Simone et al.'s article, ‘Inhabiting the Extensions’, by reflecting on its connections to my work on uncertainty and urban change in Ibadan and Lagos, Nigeria, and to my recent turn to queer theory to better understand the urban. In doing so, I highlight how youth think a new orientation towards a luxurious lifestyle is their answer to instability and consider the importance of embracing incoherence as a way of having a more nuanced understanding of everyday life and challenging teleological timeframes.

In this commentary, I argue that planetary rural geographies and digital geographies have much to offer and learn from each other and identify their mutual reciprocities. By highlighting specific instances of digital mediation in rural areas, I demonstrate how digital technologies and practices are driving rural transformations at a planetary scale. Simultaneously, I identify how planetary rural thinking can offer valuable perspectives for digital geographers toward reconsidering urban-rural relations. I conclude by suggesting that Wang et al.'s call for more pluriversal planetary rural geographies may be achieved by attending to and incorporating considerations of the digital.

Momen El-Husseiny
This commentary engages with the rich conundrum outlined in Simone et al.'s ‘Inhabiting the Extensions’ by extending its prose with the polemics of discrimination, justice, agency and refusal at Cairo's desert extensions. As people fail to redress injustices inherited from the colonial past, haunting their future becoming, questions of cityness prevail as to how extensions re-produce hegemonic experiments albeit in new orientations. In quest of the good life, I posit the urban passant as a politics of agency and postcolonial subjectivity drawn from Frantz Fanon, which elucidates people's tactics, spirals and maneuvers when confronting traditions of the oppressed. The purpose here is to develop a situated liberatory politics from within the middle of things.
