ABSTRACT The assembled papers in this special issue jointly explore the urban manifestation of “Global China” at different scales and involving diverse actors, discussing the ways in which the urban has been reconfigured by China’s global expansion and uncovering the differentiated modes of speculative and spectacular urban production at present. Observing from Ghana, India, Malaysia and China, these papers collectively make theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions to recognise the dynamics of speculation, articulation and translation in global capitalism, where China plays an increasingly significant role. In this introduction, we first set out to explain our standing point with China as method, which is an attempt to situate China in our comparative studies endeavour and to make self-reflection on what it means to study China as both an optic and a process. We then introduce the three main themes that have guided our interrogation of what global China implies. These include: (a) transplanting models and urbanism; (b) multi-scalar construction of temporality; and (c) situating the urban China model in global capitalism. These aspects are at the core of our engagement with the contributing papers in this special issue that together extend the critique of our changing urban conditions at present.

ABSTRACT Expertise and experts have been at the heart of the last few years of pandemic crisis. Yet, their role in urban governance is still a broadly uncharted territory. This special issue explores what a research agenda on the politics of urban expertise could look like. Presenting a mix of diverse geographical viewpoints on the challenges of expertise in cities, we argue for moving beyond a fruitful critique, to reflect more deeply on how critical urban scholarship can support progressive knowledge practices. In this introduction, we situate these contributions by discussing the emergence of an “industry” for urban expertise and the rise of “urban age” intellectuals over the past two decades. We highlight how contemporary global discourses on cities are reshaping how urban scholars engage with urban expertise politics, notably through a proliferation of partnerships with non-academic urban actors, aiming to set out possible avenues for future research.

ABSTRACT The settler colonial city has been described in relative isolation, detached from the global metropole, intent on internal enrichment through the deterritorialization of Indigenous people. This urban formation deploys familiar spatial techniques: legal borders, economic regions, and segregated enclaves. Yet for many Indigenous peoples, the relationship to land is not juridical, economic, nor socio-racial, it is genealogical. These genealogical ties to land extend the boundaries of settler-colonialism – and resistance to it – beyond the islands, across diasporic space. Decolonial Pacific studies describe a geography resistance to land reform among Indigenous and immigrant Pacific Islanders which exceeds and overspills the settler colonial city. Diasporic space – moving through and overspilling the settler colonial city – is the spatial context for understanding resistance to customary land reform in Samoa and the struggles of other Pacific Islanders against settler colonial processes of dispossession.

ABSTRACT Urban extractivism is an emergent concept increasingly discussed within Latin America-based scholarship but less known in anglophone urban geography. The devastating social and environmental impact of large-scale natural resource extraction, usually accompanied and driven by infrastructure megaprojects, is the main domain to which activists and scholars are currently applying the concept of extractivism. However, extractivism-related accumulation also applies to urban contexts, as for instance, scholars argue using this lens to analyze the production of exclusive urban territories in central Buenos Aires. In this contribution, I suggest to broaden the concept of urban extractivism to address pressing challenges of urban transformations in the peripheries of Mexico City, particularly concerning urban infrastructure megaprojects and Indigenous socio-territorial movements that advocate for a more sustainable use of natural resources. Critical reflection on the extractivism of knowledge reveals the need for more collaborative research methods in urban geography and beyond.

ABSTRACT Although cities with World Heritage (WH) areas worldwide are socially active, specific social and cultural complexities are associated primarily with the abandonment and decay of districts. Contemporary habitation patterns in historic districts require technology to understand parallel realities in protected areas. This stakeholders-based approach benefits significantly from cross-referencing locative social media and open data sources. Therefore, the concepts put forward in this paper use evidence from an empirical case of WH areas in selected Spanish urban sites. The cartographic correlation of data identifies hotspots of activities and coldspots around services within each site. The results present two significant findings. The first confirms the successful implementation of a digital method to support current transitions for the historic city. The second demonstrates that social networks and open datasets can mirror contemporary social interaction in historic cities. Finally, the study calls on further investigating Artificial Intelligence-based assessments for the future of WH areas.
