City is a journal of provocative, cutting-edge and committed insights into, analysis of, and commentary on the contemporary urban world. We record and analyse ’the city’, cities and their futures, and urbanization from multiple perspectives including: the information and digital revolutions, war and imperialism, neoliberalism and gentrification, environment and sustainability, resistance and social movements, regeneration, resurgence and revanchism, race, class and gender, multi-culturalism and post-colonialism. City combines an analysis of trends, culture, policy and action, and features both historical and theoretical work alongside detailed case studies, policy commentary and open debate.Besides regular papers and special features, City sections include: Alternatives showcasing radical, grassroots approaches; Scenes and Sounds featuring literary and ethnographic interpretations; Forum presenting commentary on contemporary policy; Prospects and Retrospects as well as Reviews and Debates.
