TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Towards a global urban geopolitics: inhabiting violence JO - Geopolitics A1 - Rokem, Jonathan A1 - Boano, Camillo SP - 1 EP - 14 VL - IS - N2 - This introduction to the special section explores geopolitical dimensions of conflict and violence in cities, pointing at the need to continue learning from marginal urban settings. It broadens the scope across differentiated approaches, such as the francophone and anglophone urban geopolitical traditions. By opening up a wider perspective, the emphasis is not on cities as part of a matrix of global hierarchies of geographical power but on the multiscalar relational significance of urban geopoli- tical inquiry. The introduction positions the special section arti- cles within a wider review of urban geopolitical provocations outlining a new political vocabulary of urban conflict and vio- lence. It concludes with a general call for a methodological and empirical broadening of the field of urban geopolitics as part of a broader de-colonial social and spatial science research agenda bridging the disciplines of political geography, urban studies, architecture and planning.
