"Learning the City critically examines the relationship between knowledge, learning,
and urbanism. It argues both for the centrality of learning for political strategies
and for a resurgence of learning that represents a critical opportunity to develop
a progressive international urbanism. The author combines the result of his fieldwork
conducted in Mumbai and other regions with a synthesis of the most current theoretical
research on knowledge, space, and materiality to show how learning should be viewed
as central to the production and politics of cities. In doing so, he deploys the analytic
of assemblage to explain the complex processes through which knowledge and learning
enable and limit various forms of urbanism. This groundbreaking work examines learning
as a practice, explores learning as tactics, and reveals how learning is intrinsic
to the shape of political imaginaries, strategies, and contestations. A critical discussion
of the types of learning environments that may facilitate more socially just urbanisms
is also included. Provocative, timely, and fraught with scholarly rigor, Learning
the City offers invaluable insights into the role of learning in urban developmental
studies"--
