Speculative Urbanism and the Making of the Next World City: Speculative urbanism in Bangalore
Abstract
This article explores the process of making Bangalore, India into a ‘world city’ by focusing on specific world-city projects, the parastatal government agencies managing them, the explosive IT industry as the putative engine behind this world-city making, and the inter-urban dynamics across world cities such as Dubai and Singapore. Most of these activities are linked to the highly remunerative challenge of transforming rural economies into urban real estate. Land speculation and active dispossession of those working and living in the rural periphery, on land upon which the new world-city projects are being built, is the main business of government today in Bangalore. This article suggests that this temporary ‘state of exception’, with both its attendant suspensions of civil and human rights as well as their institutionalization into government practices, reflects a shift into new forms of ‘speculative’ government, economy, urbanism and citizenship. Résumé En Inde, Bangalore passe par un processus de fabrication de ‘ville mondiale’. Pour l'étudier, cet article examine les projets spécifiques à cette dimension urbaine, les organes para-étatiques qui les gèrent, le secteur des technologies informatiques en plein essor qui est censéêtre le moteur du processus, ainsi que les dynamiques interurbaines qui relient les villes mondiales comme Dubaï et Singapour. Ces activités sont associées en grande partie à l'entreprise, particulièrement rémunératrice, de transformation des économies rurales en secteur immobilier urbain. Le gouvernement actuel de Bangalore s'emploie principalement à des opérations de spéculation foncière et de dépossession énergique à l'encontre des populations qui travaillent et vivent dans la zone périphérique rurale, sur les terrains où se bâtissent les projets de la ‘ville mondiale’. Cet ‘état d'exception’ temporaire, avec la suspension afférente de droits civiques et humains, parallèlement à son institutionnalisation dans certaines pratiques du gouvernement, reflète le passage vers de nouvelles formes de citoyenneté, d'urbanisme, d'économie et de gouvernement ‘spéculateur’.

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.
