Mighty urban assemblages and sprawling city-regions now occupy substantial portions of the Earth’s surface; new forms of urban political-economic governance proliferate by the day, if sometimes reinventing older tactics of ‘violent’ control; yawning gulfs of wealth, resources, status and influence continue to divide ‘city rich’ from ‘city poor’, the former often fiercely parasitical on the latter; multiple varieties of urban cultural life-worlds spread across the globe as well as jostling together cheek-by-jowl in particular urban centres; and countless new challenges – technical, political, ethical, environmental – rebound throughout the urban realm, demanding the inventiveness of planners and politicians, activists and citizens, dreamers and doers, scholars and researchers. In this context, the need for high-quality urban studies scholarship and grounded urban research is paramount and arguably growing, which is why we are convinced that the efforts of the Urban Studies Foundation (USF) are timely, relevant and potentially highly significant.
