The 21st-Century Metropolis: New Geographies of Theory
Abstract
Roy A. The 21st-century metropolis: new geographies of theory, Regional Studies. This paper calls for ‘new geographies’ of imagination and epistemology in the production of urban and regional theory. It argues that the dominant theorizations of global city-regions are rooted in the EuroAmerican experience and are thus unable to analyse multiple forms of metropolitan modernities. By drawing on the urban experience of the global South, the paper presents new conceptual vectors for understanding the worlding of cities, the production of space, and the dynamics of exurbanity. It makes the case that such area-based knowledge deepens recent theoretical attempts to articulate a relational study of space and place. Roy A. Les métropoles du XXIe siècle: nouvelle géographie de la théorie, Regional Studies. Cet article appelle à de nouvelles géographies de l'imagination et de l'épistémologie pour la production de théories urbaines et régionales. Il avance que les théorisations dominantes des villes-régions du monde sont enracinées dans l'expérience euro-américaine et sont donc incapables d'analyser les formes multiples de la modernité des métropoles. En s'appuyant sur l'expérience urbaine du Sud, cet article présente de nouveaux vecteurs conceptuels pour comprendre la mondialisation des villes, la production d'espaces et la dynamique de l'exurbanisation. Il prétend que la connaissance basée sur la région approfondit de récentes tentatives théoriques visant à expliquer une étude relationnelle de l'espace et de la place.

In diesem Artikel werden ‘neue Geografien’ der Fantasie und Epistemologie bei der Entwicklung von urbanen und regionalen Theorien gefordert. Es wird argumentiert, dass die dominanten Theoretisierungen der globalen Stadtregionen in der euro-amerikanischen Erfahrung verwurzelt sind, weshalb sie sich nicht zu einer Analyse der multiplen Formen von metropolitanen Modernitäten eignen. Durch eine Nutzung der urbanen Erfahrungen im globalen Süden werden im Artikel neue konzeptuelle Vektoren für das Verständnis der Weltentwicklung von Städten, der Produktion von Raum und der Dynamik der Exurbanität vorgestellt. Es wird argumentiert, dass sich durch ein solches gebietsbasiertes Wissen die jüngsten theoretischen Versuche der Artikulation einer relationalen Studie von Raum und Ort vertiefen lassen.

En este artículo abogo por unas ‘nuevas geografías’ de la imaginación y la epistemología en la producción de la teoría urbana y regional. Postulo que las teorizaciones dominantes de las regiones ciudades globales tienen sus raíces en la experiencia euroamericana y por tanto no son capaces de analizar las diversas formas de modernidades metropolitanas. Basándome en la experiencia urbana del sur global, en este artículo presento los nuevos vectores conceptuales para comprender el desarrollo mundial de las ciudades, la producción del espacio y las dinámicas de la exurbanidad. Expongo que tales conocimientos de áreas incrementan los recientes intentos teóricos de articular un estudio relacional del espacio y el lugar.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
