URB 2016 - Urbanisation

Urbanisation is a bi-annual journal published by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) and SAGE. It aims to publish comparative as well as collaborative interdisciplinary scholarship that will illuminate the global urban condition beginning with a firm footprint in the Global South. A platform that brings together inter-disciplinary scholarship on the urban, it is equally interested in critical and reflexive discussions on diverse forms and sectors of urban practice. It seeks to do so not only to inform urban theory, policy and practice but also to enable the construction of diverse forms of knowledge and knowledge production needed to enable us to understand contemporary urban life. The current issue can be found here: http://urb.sagepub.com/.

? Promote theorisation of urban processes from the perspective of a wide range of practices that shape urban life.
