ABSTRACT Expertise is a central and under-explored component of cities and urban life with increasing prominence in a politically populist and post-Covid era. Yet there remains a pressing need to investigate the particular ways that urban expertise is produced and circulated, and how it is involved in not only forms of control but can be enacted into more progressive knowledge practices. Crucial in developing a research and activist agenda around urban expertise will be greater efforts to blur distinctions drawn between so-called experts and communities, fuller accounts of the historical contexts and pathways shaping contemporary manifestations of urban expertise, and new efforts to use the politics of urban life to think afresh about the place and possibilities for the expert.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has had sharp effects in urban settings, both in terms of exposing existing inequalities but also in presenting possibilities for reconfiguring the social and spatial organisation of urban life around new ethical foundations. This has led to political exhortations to 'Build Back Better' (BBB) as a way of avoiding a return to the old 'normal' of deep and enduring structural inequalities. However, scepticism remains about the transformational potential of existing visions of BBB as an urban policy response (Rickett, 2020). It is a notion often riddled with ambiguity that has led to partial, ameliorative responses inadequate to the scale and nature of a pandemic best understood as a totalising crisis that has affected work, family life, production and reproduction (Tooze, 2021). Our provocation is to contend that combining the ethics of justice and care could provide a potentially powerful and far-reaching framework to address the weaknesses of BBB strategies to date.

ABSTRACT Patrick Wolfe's description of settler colonialism as a “structure, not an event” has made a lasting impact on the field of settler colonial studies and beyond. This short intervention considers what the metaphors of “structure” and “event” reveal and what they conceal when they are deployed in the service of understanding settler-colonial urbanism. It emphasizes the point that settler-colonial cities are multi-scalar entities produced by an intersecting range of forces and asks whether an over-reliance on Wolfe's most famous phrase might sometimes relieve analysts of the burden of accounting for the complexity of these entanglements.

ABSTRACT Kilamba, the first of the new centralities in Angola, is increasingly visible in recent urban scholarship about Luanda, further establishing it as the symbol of both this “new” post-war city and the “New Angola.” Within local discourses of progress, its emergence from within “petro-urbanism,” and its size and modern aesthetics are emphasized, while little attention has been directed towards understanding the actual contributions of its workers, particularly the women who spend a significant part of their day cleaning Kilamba’s apartments. In this paper, we combine a social reproduction framework with infrastructure studies to trace the labor of Kilamba’s female domestic workers, in order to demonstrate how their everyday practices uphold the status and materiality of this centrality, even as their work is invisibilized. In doing so, we understand their commentaries about this space, often refracted through descriptions of their homes, as critiques of the infrastructural priorities of the “New Angola.”

Retail gentri fi cation describes the process by which the retail o ff er of a neighborhood is recon fi gured to cater to a wealthier clientele than previously. This not only a ff ects the ability of poorer urban residents to access essential goods and services but also has disruptive e ff ects on existing communities. In this paper, we analyze the threat of gentri fi cation and its impact on the experiences of migrant workers at the Latin Village, a Traditional Retail Market (TRM) in North London. We make two arguments based on a combination of qualitative research methods (interviews, participant observation, survey and document analysis). First, we fi nd that the market o ff ers a sense of belonging as well as economic opportunities to migrants, predominantly from Latin America, who face discrimination in many other parts of London ’ s strati fi ed labor market. Second, we argue that regeneration of the Latin Village as originally envisaged would disproportionately a ff ect this migrant community by threatening an important space of social and economic inclusion. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of the workplace as a mediator of migrants ’ experiences of the city, which calls for further attention to instances of workspace displacement engendered by processes of retail gentri fi cation and their consequences for marginalized communities.
