"Actually Existing Geopolitics of Urban Knowledge Production. Questioning the ‘From Anywhere’ of Urban Theorising"
By F. Governa & C. Iacovone

"the #geography of the places studied contradicts any claims of post/decolonising urban theory, of ‘urban theorising from anywhere’, of Southern, #subaltern, alternative urban perspectives, and so on."

[map from the article]

Map (figure 3 of the article) showing the concentration of urban theory production. Urban theory production is mostly concentrated in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. Many countries in Africa and Western Asia have 0 production. China, Singapore, South Africa and Brazil have some production. More detailed explanations follow: It shows concentrations of the production of urban theory in the UK, US, Canada and Australia. The rest of the production is mostly located in Europe, China, Singapore, South Afirca and Brazil. The map shows both countries (with a shade of grey) of publication and cities with their universities (with a circle diagram) were articles have been written. Many countries are completely "white" (especially in Africa and Western Asia, but also to a certain extent in South America): no articles at all from them are present in the sample. As described within the article: "Most theoretical articles come from the UK (29.4%), followed by the US (21.4%), Canada (10.7%), and Australia (6.5%). As it is visible in Figure 3, the rest of the list records mainly northern European countries, except for Italy and Greece, at the bottom. Asia is represented by China and Singapore; the Global South by South Africa (although, see the claim by Müller 2021 recalled on note 5), and Brazil with only 5 articles."
