      abstract = {"Learning the City critically examines the relationship  between knowledge, learning, and urbanism. It argues both  for the centrality of learning for political strategies and  for a resurgence of learning that represents a critical  opportunity to develop a progressive international  urbanism. The author combines the result of his fieldwork  conducted in Mumbai and other regions with a synthesis of  the most current theoretical research on knowledge, space,  and materiality to show how learning should be viewed as  central to the production and politics of cities. In doing  so, he deploys the analytic of assemblage to explain the  complex processes through which knowledge and learning  enable and limit various forms of urbanism. This  groundbreaking work examines learning as a practice,  explores learning as tactics, and reveals how learning is  intrinsic to the shape of political imaginaries,  strategies, and contestations. A critical discussion of the  types of learning environments that may facilitate more  socially just urbanisms is also included. Provocative,  timely, and fraught with scholarly rigor, Learning the City  offers invaluable insights into the role of learning in  urban developmental studies"--},
