‘Until I am free to write bilingually and to switch codes without having always to translate, while I still have to speak English or Spanish when I would rather speak Spanglish, and as long as I have to accommodate the English speakers rather than having them accommodate me, my tongue will be illegitimate.’ -Gloria Anzaldúa (1987), Borderlands/La Frontera, p. 125
Hay palabras que no cruzan. Se quedan al borde, mojadas por la espuma de otra lengua que no las reconoce. Words like convivência, morada, शहर (shaharpan), حيّ (hayy), they wash ashore in our field of urban studies, stripped of accent, neutralised into keywords that fit the syllabus.
But these palabras have blisters, tienen historias. They’ve walked long distances through barrios, aldeias, bidonvilles, campamentos, vecindades, carps. And still, when they arrive, the peer review asks for clarity, the editor asks for equivalence, and the Anglophone journal asks for a bridge.
Pero this is not a bridge.
Esto es un manglar.
A muddy passage.
Un espacio fronterizo,
a borderland.
Here, we think desde el border: translation is never a safe puente, it is a manglar where words sink, sprout, and sometimes bite. In that swampy threshold we locate what Margit Fauser (Citation2017) names the urban border: not a line on a geopolitical map, but a moving apparatus that shadows migrants into the city, policing breath, labour, lengua. Es una frontera portátil, una extensión of the national, que limita quién puede reclamar agua potable, atención médica, even a bedtime story in the mother tongue. Its checkpoints are myriad: zoning bylaws, rental contracts, welfare offices, editorial guidelines that sand accents off conceptos viajeros, travelling concepts often stripped of their context and histories as they migrate into dominant academic markets. When a term like convivência is flattened into ‘community engagement,’ the urban b/order has done its silent work.
Con ese horizonte lodoso por delante, we looked outward, toward the conversations still untranslated, still waiting at the edge. Earlier this year, in anticipation of the 2025 RGS-IBG Annual Conference in Birmingham, we circulated a call for contributions under the title Urban Omissions: Untranslated Concepts and Debates in Urban Studies. We asked: how can those of us writing from English-dominant forums, like City, better recognise and amplify the urban thinking that lives in other tongues? What vocabularies of theory and practice exist beyond the reach of Anglophone canons? What does it mean to practice ‘citation as translation,’ not simply as acknowledgement, but as an invitation to rethink what we call rigour, qué entendemos por urbanismo, qué damos por hecho en nuestras bibliografías.
This editorial emerges from that same impulse, but veers off into another current. It doesn’t aim to summarise the panel, nor map the contours of what will be discussed. Instead, it offers a provocation, a fragment, a resonancia, an invitation to consider language, translation, and epistemic border-making as foundational to how urban theory is built, cited, and circulated. In doing so, it extends the call’s spirit while departing from its form, moving through swampier terrain: personal, affective, political. This detour is in step with City’s commitment to trouble the urban canon.
And further still: what forms of knowledge remain off the map, not for lack of clarity or ‘it’s underdeveloped’, but because they are spoken in tongues the global North has not cared to learn, or worse, has mistranslated or erased?
This editorial doesn’t stand apart from the questions that prompted the call, it moves with them differently. Not a blueprint, but a gesture. Not a bridge, but a thread in the manglar. One of many routes we might trace when we gather in Birmingham, and, perhaps, after.

Abstract
How Urban Decorum works. Territorial othering in Italian cities
Urban Decorum has been gaining ground in Italy in recent years. This paper explores how the idea of Urban Decorum works—and for whom, reviewing the case of recently implemented municipal regulations in Italy, by examining the case of recently implemented municipal regulations in Italy, starting from the so-called Minniti Law n. 14/2017. It does so by proposing an analysis of the role of Urban Decorum as an actor and logic in the formation of public urban space, as a normative tool for regulating the life of urban space, and as a selective disciplining of specific practices in certain selected and heritage-relevant areas. This paper aims to provide a new perspective on territorial stigmatisation, also suggesting how Urban Decorum speaks to literatures on neoliberal urbanism, urban commodification, gentrification and touristification, and is therefore proposed as a potential lens for future research on neoliberal directions of urban development.

Abstract
Friction-free cities and the rise of contactless and robotised delivery infrastructure
On-demand mobility and delivery platforms, hailed as providing essential services during COVID-19, continue to proliferate. In many cities, they have evolved into critical infrastructures that shape urban life, space, and governance. Operating on the technological and urban ideal of frictionlessness, these platforms particularly strive for frictionless mobility. This paper explores how this pursuit of frictionless mobility reimagines and restructures urban space, focusing on Baemin, the most-used food delivery platform in South Korea. Attending to the politics of friction, the paper suggests that Baemin enables certain kinds of circulation and connections while also producing disconnections, which contribute to sanitised spaces and fragmented living, amplified by the deployment of delivery robots. Drawing on fieldwork in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, the paper illustrates how the continuous push for the smooth transport of goods is giving rise to increasingly contactless, automated, and robotised infrastructure, leading to social and spatial changes. It highlights that this transformation involves minimising, controlling, and eliminating human travel and human-to-human contact. Finally, the paper reflects on what a city becomes when it aspires to be frictionless and proposes that the practices of rethinking friction can offer ways to create spaces and infrastructures that encourage encounters and intersections, instead of avoidance and distance.

Forging unity, marking distinction: Mumbai’s middle-class tenants’ struggles for defending rent control in the post-liberalisation era
Middle-class sections in India have faced threats of eviction and displacement due to transformations in the built environment and the legal regime regulating these transformations in the post-liberalisation period. This article is about one such segment of Mumbai’s middle class which has resorted to collective political struggles to defend their right to stay put. These are the protected tenants who came to acquire statutory tenancy rights over a 50-year period due to restrictive rent control protections but have been facing aggravated threats of decontrol since the 1990s. Using contemporary newspaper reports, interviews with tenant-activists and social media posts, I have reconstructed the course of protected tenants’ mobilisations that emerged at two critical moments—1998 and 2015. Drawing insights from Pierre Bourdieu’s work, I could identify a two-pronged classification strategy deployed by tenant-activists to bring about symbolic unification of the heterogeneous sections of the protected tenant base and to mark their distinction from contractual tenants and other housing-insecure groups. Through these struggles, the protected tenants transformed into a political force and played a crucial role in preserving rent control protections in the post-liberalisation period.

Inquilab at the edge of the city: encountering capital and citizenship in Seelampur
This paper represents an advancement of literature on cities in the Global South by undertaking a case study of the locality of Seelampur in New Delhi, its historical context, and the geographic reconfigurations precipitated by the anti-CAA-NRC-NPR agitation. It attempts to build on the literature surrounding gender and production relations undergirding a city in the Global South, and focuses on the women of Seelampur for their defiance of the boundaries imposed by the logic of accumulation and the patriarchal purview of the state. Throughout their life, the women of Seelampur have precariously inhabited the margins of the city. Just as they are deemed encroachers in the city, they are also cast as encroachers upon citizenship. Seelampur has been subject to underdevelopment to serve the needs of capital through the exploitation of its Muslim population and the confinement of their labour. The locality of Seelampur is compelled to converse with the disciplining face of the state, while the residents are deprived of welfare entitlements owed to them. Seelampur as the site of protest constituted an instance of resistance to the continued privatisation of city space and represented a reclamation of the city-scape. The social production of space by the women protestors re-ordered the sense of time, place and gender within the locality—and hence reorganised priorities of the women towards kinship and family. The praxis of care feminised resistance and extended the socio-spatial boundaries such that the protest site became the home of homes. Challenging and subverting given notions of the public, Seelampur redefined Muslim women’s political participation and public identity.

Violence against Istanbul and strategies for resistance
This paper examines urban megaprojects and slow violence in Turkey through the case of Kanal Istanbul, situating it within broader authoritarian and neoliberal urban development policies in Istanbul. Drawing on thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with experts and activists, it explores how the proposed ‘alternative waterway’, effectively splitting the city, has been critiqued as an act of urbicide. The paper offers two main contributions: first, it traces urban resistance in Istanbul over the past 15 years, highlighting how past unrest connects with the present moment; second, it analyses urban megaprojects through the lens of slow and infrastructural violence, culminating in the concept of urbicide as a form of resistance. The paper argues that Kanal Istanbul is not an isolated rupture but part of a broader continuum of urban struggle shaped by past violences and emerging solidarities. It concludes by framing urbicide as both a diagnostic and strategic lens for understanding how Istanbul’s urban policies—neoliberal and more-than-neoliberal—have produced sustained cycles of violence and resistance. Thus, I approach the narrative of urbicide as both a diagnostic and strategic lens to trace the evolution of urban resistance in Istanbul.

Meritocracy from below: dreams, divisions, and the struggle for merit in a stigmatised neighbourhood
The ideal of a meritocratic society continues to exert significant normative power in political and public discourse, including in discussions about marginalised spaces and neighbourhoods. However, many urban scholars have been reluctant to critically engage with the normative assumptions underpinning the meritocratic ideal. Researchers working within neoclassical urban economics and positivist urban sociology, in particular, have often embraced and reproduced the notion of a more meritocratic society as a noble, if not inherently obvious and ordinary, ideal. This article argues for a critical understanding of meritocracy among urban researchers by exploring the consequences of how this ideal is internalised and reproduced in marginalised spaces. Through empirical research conducted in a stigmatised neighbourhood in Germany, I examine how meritocratic narratives contribute to sharp divisions among residents and hinder collective action. However, this does not mean that confronting the meritocratic ideal is impossible.

Voices of protest and the right to the city in the context of overtourism: reflections from the historic city of Chania, Crete (Greece)
After the years of the ‘Great Recession’ of 2008, tourism growth has become a lever for economic recovery in many southern European cities, followed by rapid urban transformations. Based on multimodal ethnographic research in historic neighbourhoods of the city of Chania (Crete, Greece), this article offers an in-depth examination of the transformation of the economic and social fabric of a city threatened by the ongoing tourism growth, promoted by both neoliberal strategies and state policies. Drawing on Lefebvre's ideas on the right to the city, this article contributes to the conceptual debates on tourism monoculture, touristification and place alienation and attempts to initiate a debate on political struggles against overtourism in small historic Mediterranean cities, which are often missing in urban tourism studies. The study reveals a diverse repertoire of protests: resilient narratives that address the deterioration of quality of life, the housing crisis and residential displacement; retrospective voices that look back nostalgically at the past community and express feelings of depression; and, above all, radical actors, usually excluded from the mainstream discourse on tourism, who invoke the right to the city to support the pursuit of a just city through discursive protest and activist practices.

Decolonising urban knowledge(s): an ordinary imperative in extraordinary times
Urban scholarship has been complicit in perpetuating a western superiority in our understanding of city making processes. This Special Feature hosts a variegated collection of pieces that engage with the repertoires used across ordinary cities to counteract the epistemic violence exerted by the coloniality of power. We argue that decolonising urban knowledges requires a fierce opposition to the spiral of multiple violences experienced in everyday life of racialised, subaltern and marginalised groups, recasting the modes of knowledge production inspired by politics of care and reciprocity while pluralising the sites of engagement, expanding disruptive urban pedagogies and pluriversal designs.

Abstract
Dirty research: a call towards decolonial urban knowledge production
The conventional view of research emphasizes the systematic investigation to produce knowledge with an objective undertone, often emanating a sense of purity of the research process/methods. However, this piece calls for a reexamination of urban knowledge production, particularly its processual aspects and the implications of conducting it in relation to urban communities, where I suggest this purity is fictitious. The enquiry here arises from a decolonial critique of tokenistic engagement in urban research and an ontological critique of knowledge production as a good in itself. Instead, the concept of Dirty research presented here positions knowledge production as an embedded process within the creation of new worlds through entwining theory and action. I argue that the ways we conduct research—and the actions (or inactions) of researchers—are intricately connected to structural injustices, epistemic violence, and the perpetuation of coloniality. The proposed framework illustrates how urban research can be approached differently by adopting an ethos of reciprocity that 1) ensures parity in the knowledge produced, 2) fosters the co-production of research inquiries, and 3) cultivates empathetic allyship. By focusing on these interlinked processes, Dirty research conceptually challenges extractivist paradigms in urban knowledge production and charts pathways towards decolonial urban futures.

Accusations of academic extractivism in Chile's historical poor neighborhoods: root causes and alternative practices
Chile's historic poor neighborhoods are attracting increasing academic interest, while residents voice concerns about ‘academic extractivism.’ This criticism highlights researchers’ concentration on these well-studied areas without meaningful engagement with locals. Our paper examines this issue from three perspectives: residents’ experiences with institutions and researchers, and their aspirations for self-representation; pressures of ‘fast science’ that disrupt the relationships between scholars and lower-class communities; and the challenges faced by our research team when implementing a conventional research design in these territories. We conclude emphasizing the need for alternative urban research practices that prioritize collaboration, reciprocity, and the redistribution of power dynamics.

Abstract
Careful obstruction: rethinking urban knowledge formations from a protest site in India
Recent scholarship in critical urban studies has engaged with the idea of obstructions, blockades, and occupations as generative sites for political action and counter-hegemonic knowledge production. In this paper, we extend this analytical framing to understand women-led, sit-in-style protests in India against potential disenfranchisement through discriminatory legal amendments. Drawing from an extended oral history interview conducted with a group of nine organisers and participants of the anti-CAA/NRC protest in Ranchi, we develop the idea of ‘careful obstruction’ as a site of subaltern praxis from which to rethink urban politics and knowledge production. Imagining the sit-in protest as an act of careful obstruction enables us to consider the ways in which care can be practised in a counter-hegemonic way that disrupts the dominant logic of identity formation and state-sanctioned knowledge production, thereby emerging as a site to rethink what counts as urban knowledge.

Habitation counter-stories: thinking from the autoconstructed basti—Cheeta Camp, Mumbai
This paper explores the multiple sites of knowledge production that emerge through the process of making bastis, or autoconstructed settlements, in Mumbai. By centreing the knowledge and lexicon of lived experience in making and consolidating one basti, Cheeta Camp, we inform decolonised understandings of planning and urban studies more broadly. This paper discusses the pluralising of knowledge at two levels. First, knowledge about how settlements are made—the collective process of making schools shared community spaces and the effort to recast top-down expert-driven planning practices often despite the violent practices of the neoliberal state. This sheds light on how and where urban knowledge is produced and who produces it—the situated sites of activist knowledges that emerge through the process of making settlements. Second, how studying and writing about this lived experience is achieved by building counter-stories and vocabularies. This highlights other forms of knowledge, hitherto unrecognised as urban planning expertise that reconceptualises urban planning to prioritise social infrastructure and community stewardship.

Higher education ecosystems in the global South: possibilities for pedagogic disruption towards urban equality
Higher education institutions (HEI) in the South face a wide range of challenges in which they function, evolve and engage with knowledge production, teaching and learning. Building on earlier work where we developed a framework to analyse these challenges in planning education against the backdrop of urban equality, this paper takes a closer look at the larger political economy of higher education. Using four distinct cases, we explore the diversity in institutional contexts and the HEI’s ability to enable pedagogic disruptions, reflecting from perspectives of urban educators and practitioners in Asia and Africa. We argue that institutional structures, their governance and the external environment play a significant role in enabling or disabling the HEI’s ability to initiate and sustain pedagogic innovations in their teaching and learning around the questions of urban inequality.

Reworking relations of epistemological authority in teaching collaborations
Though knowledge about urban change is increasingly developed in partnership, knowledge production in teaching often remains entrenched in traditional roles of teaching and learning, research objects and subjects, and the attendant power asymmetries of these relations. Especially when working with partners historically the “subjects” of research rather than the authors of expertise, teaching can be a site to rework these relations. In this intervention, we reflect on an ongoing collaboration with undocumented immigrants in Zurich that aims to confront the function of epistemic authority through co-producing knowledge with students and undocumented immigrants in a classroom setting and consider the challenges of teaching projects to decolonize urban knowledge production.

Hybrid pedagogies for knowledge co-production, translocal solidarity and collective action
This piece explores pedagogies that challenge dominant forms of knowing grounded on hegemonic dualisms, such as subject/object, expert/non-expert, knower/learner and human/non-human. It draws on an ongoing workshop series focused on the self-managed urban occupation Solano Trindade in Duque de Caxias, Brazil. These workshops, held in the community since 2018, had to be redesigned due to constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to new knowledge relations and forms of collaboration. The article analyses two of these workshop experiences as hybrid pedagogies, based on positions of mutual inclusivity in knowledge production, more-than-human epistemologies and a relational understanding of hybridity as main analytical orientations. This leads to reflections on the engagement of technologies in collaborative practices, the establishment of dialogues between groups situated in multiple epistemic and geographical locations, and on embracing non-humans as pedagogical agents. In this way, hybridity is conceptualised as more than a format that brings together remote and local(ised) actors in one space, focusing instead on how it stimulates translocal solidarities and more-than-human collaborations. Through these reflections, this article argues that hybrid pedagogies can foster generative alliances and reparative knowledge relations that can contribute to decolonising knowledge production.

Living in and with ruins: decolonizing spatial pedagogies in territories of conflict
This paper examines imperial and capitalist ruination as encompassing both epistemic and material forms of violence, focusing on how ruination is embedded in cultural mindsets and spatial pedagogies. Challenging the romantic view of ruins and situating them as part of human’s catastrophic mastery over nature, the paper turns to the pedagogical potential of Southern planetary struggles and resistance, bringing evidence from place-based learning projects in conflict-affected regions such as Cyprus and Palestine. Rather than looking at ruins mainly as sites for exposing imperialism, colonialism, and ethno-nationalisms—in their contested forms and legacies—it probes the question of how to live in and with ruins as the basis for imagining situated, posthuman, and transcalar spatial pedagogies. Addressing the legacies of ecological ruination, spatial pedagogies in Cyprus serve to challenge institutional and disciplinary boundaries, fostering collaboration and build commons across the island’s divided communities. In Palestine, where ongoing dispossession and militarized urbanism prevail, Indigenous-based spatial pedagogies take the form of experiments in living with ruins generating knowledge of how to inhabit the world through care, repair, and healing, while advocating for planetary justice.

Logistics as method: design and pluriversal politics in Rosario
There is a novel set of material interventions sweeping across South America that is not only questioning the agency and tools deployed by formal planning institutions, but also challenging the remit and political potential of design. Extending Escobar’s call to mobilise design to imagine post-extractivist worlds, the paper introduces the notion of logistics to explore means of operationalising modes of interdependence and relationality. Based on Ciudad Futura’s project in the outskirts of Rosario to develop a public food company, the paper argues that popular logistics act as a method for both describing the articulation of novel forms of pluriversal politics and organising novel action-research agendas.

Design as prompt: experiments in pluriversal politics and southern urban practice
One of the first steps towards decolonizing urban design practice is to make space within planning and design discourse for multiple voices. This paper is a reflection on one such experiment in urban design intervention in Abohar. Abohar, a small border town in Punjab was tagged the third dirtiest city (of its size) in India in 2020. Around the same time, the old water works situated in the center of the town was decommissioned, thereby opening up land in the center of the city. Drawing upon notions of situated urban practice embedded in frameworks that aspire towards a pluriversal politics, we conceptualized a pedagogical studio that would engage with Abohar. In this paper, we discuss our experience of collaboratively working towards the ‘design’ of a city center in the town of Abohar. The paper argues that translating pluriversal thinking into pluriversal design practice requires an ontological shift. In this way of thinking and doing, a propositional mindset is essential and design needs to be understood as a prompt rather than as a finalized solution.

Art, plants, and urban climate adaptation
This paper presents three art-based or art-related research projects—ClimArt, Embassy of Nature/Overgrowth, and PLAURCI. These projects, implemented in Germany, Poland, and Turkey, critically examine the role of urban plants through interdisciplinary collaboration. By integrating scientific inquiry and artistic expression, these initiatives enrich the discourse on urban climate adaptation and reimagine the future of green cities. The study of human—plant interactions in urban environments has gained prominence in the social sciences, drawing on multispecies ethnography, environmental history, and plant studies. Despite increasing scholarly challenges to anthropocentric perspectives, the phenomenon of ‘plant blindness’ continues to marginalize urban flora, shaping public attitudes that oscillate between preservation and eradication. In response, artists and scholars collaborate with nature, integrating living elements into their practice to challenge conventional perceptions and cultivate environmental awareness.

Replace the M8! Voices and visions on the future of an urban motorway in Glasgow, Scotland
This article outlines the development of a citizen-led campaign to replace an inner-city motorway in Glasgow, Scotland through the group ‘Replace the M8’, led by Peter Kelly. It tells the story of the group’s formation in the run up to COP26, the impacts on local debates within Glasgow, and how local and national government has been influenced by the group’s efforts. The M8 motorway carries 150,000 vehicles a day through inner Glasgow with dramatic environmental, social and architectural impacts. However ‘replacing’ the M8 presents a challenge for the governance of transport and community participation in Scotland. The article ends by reflecting on what the Scottish Government should do to ensure Scotland doesn’t fall behind global efforts to create liveable and sustainable cities and what the campaign thinks the next steps should be in pushing the idea forward.
