AAG - Revisiting Neil Smith's revanchist concept - three sessions begins Friday 8:30, Huntington Place room 258 level 2. Panel discussion final session - E Montgomery, L Lees, D Wilson, E Wyly, S Zaragocin @urbgeog
Elvin Wyly in the latest issue: "Millions of Americans believe Donald Trump's claim that the 2020 U.S. Presidential election was ‘rigged’. This commentary presents evidence of the remarkably diverse acceptance of this claim in the American population."
Bob Lake in Issue 3:1 - "The route of escape from the seduction of theory is to give up the idea that the problem lies in choosing the right representational lens [...] and, instead, to engage in a dialogical effort to build the world we collectively wish to inhabit.
New Issue Alert: 3:1 is out now. Bob's Lake forum on "the seductions of urban theory" is a must read. Commentaries from Kate Derickson, David Imbroscio, Helga Leitner, Don Mitchell, David Pinder, Caroline Ponder, Fran Tonkiss, and Henry Wai-chung Yeung.

25 Years After N Smith’s re-engaging of the revanchist concept, this concept’s place in current urban redevelopment? Revanchism in relation to smart city making? Creative city making? Sustainable city making? Be in touch. @urbgeog
For 2025, we are looking for forum papers that map out brave, original and innovative directions in urban research. Let us know if you have work that is opening up conversations across the urban fields.
