Résumé
The processes of globalisation, circulation and networks make cities and metropolises units that are increasingly interdependent. There were some countervailing trends in urban scholarship. Comparative practices became more limited with the turn to Marxism in urban studies. If comparative approaches have long been a minor part of the landscape of urban studies, they have recently seen a renaissance as part of a wider set of responses to developments in the field: analytical uncertainty in the face of new patterns and processes of global urbanisation the explosion of data for urban analysis and the growing role of geospatial data in international urban policy and governance; the rise of very large metropolises presenting common challenges in many different regions and countries, as well as new forms of urban politics and expansion of comparable data across different contexts. Experimentations are targeted at navigating the lived experiences of cities in the midst of highly transnationalised flows, for example, in relation to Covid and religion.
