Governing cities : politics and policy / Madeleine Pill.

• 1. Questions about cities -- 2. What is a city and why do they matter? -- 3. How and by whom are cities governed? -- 4. What policies and strategies arise? -- 5. What happens at different scales? -- 6. What are citizens doing? -- 7. Futures for governing cities.

• This textbook helps us understand the political and policy-based challenges of how to equitably govern cities. It poses critical questions -- about how cities are governed, by whom and for whom -- and draws from a wide range of urban scholarship. The 'how' covers urban politics and the policy instruments which result. The 'by whom' addresses power relations within and beyond the city. The 'for whom' centres equity and the role of citizens and collective action in how we are governed. In addressing these questions, the book provides an overview of the core theories of urban politics and governance, explores what happens at different scales, and examines new forms of citizen activism. It is a unique introduction to students, policymakers and practitioners who want to understand and seek to improve urban politics and policy.
