ABSTRACT This special issue of Urban Geography makes an important contribution to understanding the politics of urban expertise. It draws attention to a counter-movement for urban epistemic justice through examining how politics matter in valuing different forms of expertise. Yet systematic consideration of the institutions of knowledge production is often missing from many debates on the politics of urban expertise. Expertise is not free-floating, but is produced in particular and specific contexts. Beyond methods, the production of urban expertise involves strategies and tactics that constitute a critical urban praxis, one that navigates between critique and engagement for the just city. Whilst battlelines may be drawn between traditional and citizen experts, as demonstrated in the pandemic, such a praxis needs to navigate carefully between the wholesale embrace or dismissal of different forms of expertise.

ABSTRACT This essay explores how water shapes (imaginaries of) Bangladeshi urbanism. While images of floods and waterlogging have long contributed to a developmentalist representation of Bangladesh, contemporary trends in Bangladeshi urbanism are increasingly embracing water as a vantage point for envisioning a world-class urban future. In this essay, we explore the relationship between waterscapes and practices of “worlding”. Focusing on Dhaka, we highlight the tension between the ways in which water is made part of certain “urban views” and the actual practices and movements through which people at the margins navigate the ever-shifting boundary between land and water. We conclude that water helps address attention to the processual and emergent qualities of urbanism, as the inherent wobbliness of its flows and excesses continuously work to destabilize static perspectives.

ABSTRACT The temporality of books runs counter to many changes in academic employment and publishing. Books are not only another metric of output, they convey a unique substantive authority as well. In the footsteps of a “radical openness” that embraces humility, ambiguity and the courage to go beyond the safety of established schools of thought, the journal is launching the book review forums as an exploratory space. The intention with forums is to provide more careful attention to books with frameworks and concepts not yet found recurrent in Urban Geography, or maybe also urban geography. The new submission guidelines include two suggested forum formats: book forums consisting of a single book with multiple reviews and topic forums consisting of a single topic in which multiple books are discussed. With forums, the hope is to supplant more utilitarian assessments of books with a space for generative debates.

ABSTRACT Recent literature has highlighted the role of urban agriculture (UA) in creating more sustainable and equitable cities through social participation and promotion of food and environmental justice. However, in a context of neoliberal urban development, the overall socio-spatial impact of UA remains a subject of intense debate. In particular, whilst some scholars focus on the social justice possibilities contained in UA projects, others draw attention to how UA unintentionally fosters revalorization and gentrification processes through an esthetic and environmental improvement of marginal and working-class neighborhoods and suburbs. This intervention aims to explore these contradictory interpretations of UA and offers some conceptual tools based on concrete practice and empirical evidence for clarifying and potentially also resolving them.
