Despite varying conceptions of what co-production entails, there is a growing consensus in research, practice and public policy discourse that co-production is a preferred strategy for leveraging resources to deliver basic infrastructure services in low-income settlements. Using largely qualitative data, this paper explores the adaption of co-production in the low-income settlement of Hanna Nassif in Dar es Salaam, implemented 20 years ago by state actors, international agencies and grassroots actors, with attention to basic infrastructure and local employment. The findings reveal that co-production engendered partnerships and platforms and transformed sociocultural norms and values that made inroads toward urban equality in the settlement, although it failed to address inequalities among the partners, or to be replicated subsequently. The paper argues that meaningful co-production of basic infrastructure services in low-income settlements of the global South requires a focus on the context-specific pro-poor concerns and priorities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on livelihoods everywhere, but especially in the informal economy where crucial forms of protection and security are often absent. A detailed understanding of the impacts for informal workers, the public policy approaches that could most effectively respond to their needs, and the barriers to such policy, is urgently needed. This paper discusses the results of a 2021 street vendor survey in Cali, Colombia, focusing on (1) vendors' socioeconomic circumstances and (2) their political engagement and attitudes on key policy and governance issues. It argues that while the pandemic and the government responses to it negatively impacted street vendors, there are steps that government could have taken, and can still take, to address vendors' needs and priorities. To ensure a just, equitable, sustainable recovery, and to protect economically marginalized groups from future crises, informal workers must be more meaningfully included in decision-making processes.

This paper contributes to critical and Southern urban studies by discussing how the notion of hybridity is useful to understand contemporary modes of politics rooted in equality pursuits and crafted by peripheral subjects. It analyses the birth, discourses and tactics of three grassroots groups in Rocinha, an immense peripheral settlement in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to show how modern insurgent claims – based on material urban rights – are intertwined with other grammars of justice, such as the politics of intersectional difference, critical pedagogies, solidarity and care. These cases suggest that contemporary insurgency builds on rights-based citizenship claims to create unique pathways that somehow articulate the universality and relationality of justice. I suggest that hybrid insurgent citizenship operates like a braid in which different strategies are uniquely and interdependently linked over time. Whilst in Rocinha the central thread is insurgency, the same logics could apply to other context-situated political traditions.

As cities plan for post-COVID recovery, many questions preoccupy mayors, policymakers, planners and developers. This article examines COVID-19’s impact on cities, drawing on local governments’ developing policies and responses to identify some of the emerging trends and trade-offs. Overall, city recovery will likely involve some transformation to land uses and real estate markets, with increasing demand for urban amenities and nature, and with policies in support of affordable housing, slum upgrading and informal sector employment, to achieve more liveable and inclusive cities. This in turn will depend on the policies, planning, finance, digital infrastructure and governance systems in place. While many city challenges predate COVID-19, they were exacerbated by the pandemic. The extent to which cities, and especially cities in the global South, will overcome such challenges will depend on political will and the implementation of targeted policies and low-cost investments in sustainability, liveability and inclusion.

Growing inequalities are one of the most pressing issues for cities, threatening the fulfilment of the rights of millions of urban residents. The combined effects of the climate emergency, wars, forced migrations, COVID-19, increased housing insecurity and commodification of basic services, the crisis of care and the precarization of working conditions have deepened existing inequalities and created new ones. With threequarters of cities now more unequal than in 1996, urban inequality has increasingly been recognized as a key global challenge.(1) The Sustainable Development Goals and the UNHabitat New Urban Agenda have recognized that addressing growing inequality has to be a priority for local and national governments, establishing global commitments that are in dialogue with localized efforts of urban transformation towards more equal futures. Concerns for the growth of inequalities have been accompanied by an acknowledgement of their multidimensional character. It is now well established that concepts such as poverty and development require multifaceted understandings, moving beyond income-based concerns, and taking into account social, spatial and political differences. Multidimensional approaches to poverty and its measurement have been gaining centrality for at least the last 30 years,(2) alongside an increasing recognition of more comprehensive approaches to development, growth and well-being, mainstreamed by measurements such as the Human Development Index.(3) This shift towards multidimensional approaches has also been taken up within urban equality discussions. Building upon the seminal work on social justice by Nancy Fraser and Iris Marion Young,(4) researchers have long argued that urban inequality is a multidimensional experience for urban dwellers.(5) For us, as editors, and building upon our common understanding developed under the umbrella of the Knowledge in Action for Urban Equality programme (KNOW),(6) advancing urban equality requires a combination of four dimensions: equitable distribution of the material conditions for living a meaningful life; reciprocal recognition of diverse and intersecting identities and knowledge claims; parity political participation in decisionmaking processes; and solidarity and mutual care between people, and between people and nature.(7) This special double issue of Environment and Urbanization, which will include both this issue and a second in April 2023, collects papers that advance our understanding of inequality and how it can be addressed at different scales.

日益严重的不平等是城市面临的最紧迫问题之一，威胁着数百万城市居民权利的实现。气候紧急情况、战争、被迫移民、新冠肺炎、住房不安全加剧和基本服务商品化、护理危机和工作条件不稳定的综合影响加深了现有的不平等，并产生了新的不平等。四分之三的城市现在比1996年更加不平等，城市不平等越来越被认为是一个关键的全球挑战。（1） 可持续发展目标和人居署《新城市议程》已经认识到，解决日益严重的不平等问题必须是地方和国家政府的优先事项，制定全球承诺，与实现更平等未来的城市转型的地方努力对话。在对不平等现象日益严重的关注的同时，也承认了其多层面性质。现在已经确定，贫困和发展等概念需要多方面的理解，超越基于收入的关切，并考虑到社会、空间和政治差异。至少在过去30年中，对贫困及其衡量的多层面方法日益成为中心，（2）与此同时，人们越来越认识到对发展、增长和福祉采取更全面的方法，并将其纳入人类发展指数等衡量标准的主流。（3） 这种向多层面方法的转变也在城市平等讨论中得到了重视。在Nancy Fraser和Iris Marion Young关于社会正义的开创性工作的基础上，研究人员长期以来一直认为，城市不平等是城市居民的一种多维体验。（5） 对我们这些编辑来说，在“城市平等行动中的知识”计划（KNOW）框架下形成的共同理解的基础上，（6）推进城市平等需要四个方面的结合：公平分配过上有意义生活的物质条件；相互承认不同和交叉的身份和知识主张；平等参与决策过程；人与人之间、人与自然之间的团结和相互关心。（7） 这期《环境与城市化》双月刊将包括本期和2023年4月的第二期，收集了一些论文，这些论文促进了我们对不平等的理解，以及如何在不同规模上解决不平等问题。其中一些论文是在国际研究计划KNOW下发表的，1117374 EAU环境与城市化卷Xx No Xx Month Xxxx

How do ordinary citizens, activists and urban practitioners learn to become agents of change for a socially just habitat? The paper explores this question through the experiences of eight grassroots schools of popular urbanism working under the umbrella of the Habitat International Coalition (HIC) in Latin America. Building on a process of self-documentation and collective pedagogic reflection driven by the protagonists of these schools, the analysis explores the core pedagogic practices identified across the schools to enact popular urbanism as a collective and intentional praxis: to weave, sentipensar, mobilize, reverberate and emancipate. We argue that, put in motion, these pedagogic practices transgress the rules and boundaries of the formal classroom, taking participants to and through other sites and modes of learning that host significant potential to stimulate collectivizing and alternative ways of seeking change towards urban equality.

This paper explores the multidimensional aspects of inequality that shape urban areas and imagines an alternative future for one such space in Johannesburg, South Africa. It builds on literature from urban studies and planning theory to explore planning practices that politicize inequality, valorize difference and promote the shared management of collective resources. Then, drawing on a decade of qualitative research, the paper imagines how cooperative urbanism could be applied in the factious context of Johannesburg, describing the potential for developing the former mining belt of the Witwatersrand as a series of multi-scalar interventions, networking sites of cooperative action to incrementally address the entrenched inequality of the region. Thus, the paper brings together interdisciplinary conversations on theory with empirical research, discussing concrete ways to continue shifting urban planning and development towards increased environmental and social justice.

This paper reflects on the ethics of research and knowledge co-production aimed at addressing urban inequality. It draws on work within the Knowledge in Action for Urban Equality (KNOW) programme, which aimed to co-produce knowledge to activate transformation. We employ a lens of feminist care ethics to examine ethical challenges in research partnerships, which derive from interrelated layers of power asymmetry and inequality. We focus on ethical dilemmas that emerged during the planning stage of research work led by the NGO Centre for Community Initiatives (CCI), Tanzania, in collaboration with University College London’s Institute of Global Prosperity (IGP). We argue that contextualizing the value of knowledge co-production in generating transformation in the long term reveals a necessity for simultaneously addressing the immediate needs of intersectionally marginalized research participants. We suggest that ethical awareness of both long- and short-term modes of “caring for” could better support initiatives for addressing urban inequalities in context.
