Abstract This paper approaches the global city concept from a local perspective taking into account the political action of local elites in times of urban neoliberalisation. Drawing on the empirical research carried out in Frankfurt (Main), we argue that the very beginnings of the global city formation were less a result of global processes superseding local ones, as is often argued, but rather emerged out of local political action contested by local protests. In the first part, we will revisit the global city concept and contrast it against a critique of urban neoliberalisation. The second focuses on reviewing the history of urban restructuring in the Frankfurt Westend during the 1960s and 1970s. We suggest that the transformation of the Westend into a “strategic site of global control” (Sassen 2011) has been constructed as a narrative in order to legitimise local forms of real estate speculation, marketisation of commodification. Our paper tries to unfold the logics and strategies of such neoliberal urbanisation by critically reflecting upon historical events since the 1960s

This paper critically engages planetary urbanization’s claim that it generates ‘Urban Theory Without an Outside’. It argues planetary urbanization is part of the broader ideological terrain of urban studies whose textual field reifies the city, the urban and urbanization as objects and processes of analyses through a kind of ‘methodological urbanization’. The paper argues the conceptual and political value of delineating views from outside urban studies and planetary urbanization – in particular from domains like area studies – that unmoor the primacy of the city, the urban and particularly urbanization in understandings of socio-spatial processes across planetary space. It suggests how these perspectives can usefully act as ‘supplements’ indifferent to urban studies, reminding urban studies of the limits of its own forms of knowledge production in relation to socio-spatial process and city formation. To do this, the paper sketches an anti-colonial history of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The City

Purpose of the article is to study the history of mapping the formation of the landscape of the city of Kharkiv from the beginning of active urban development to the present day (the end of the XVIII - the beginning of the XXI century), which was carried out in view of the prospects of involving the results in the process of territorial planning of the city's modern development. Methods. The research was based on the application of the principles of diachronic and comparative-historical methodological approaches and the use of cartographic, geoinformation, historical-geographical method and the method of historical sections. Results. The methodological features of carrying out of historical and geographical research are best taken into account by means of the use of GIS. The article presents the results of cartographic modeling of the development of the city's territory, the difficulties in conducting this operation and the probable errors caused by the methodology of the operation. outlined the possibility of using such studies to solve the problems of urban planning practice. The approach outlined in this article allowed researchers from different scientific fields - historians of the city, archaeologists, demographers, economists, etc. - to interpret phenomenology of cities according to different thematic keys. Conclusions. The methodology used in this study allows the effective use of GIS methods for solving applied constructive and geographic tasks, namely, the study of the evolution of urban landscapes on the basis of the analysis and synthesis of cartographic works for the entire period of city formation.
