Urban policy mobilities in Urban Geography: in retrospect and in prospect

ABSTRACT

This virtual collection introduces and discusses urban policy mobilities contributions published in Urban Geography. Emerging in the very early 2000s, this inter-disciplinary field challenged work on policy transfer. Instead, it drew upon existing contributions from architecture, history and planning, to argue from a processual, relational and social-constructionist approach to theorizing the making of policies mobiles, what happens when they are in motion and under what conditions they stop moving.

KEYWORDS:

• Urban policy mobilities
