Description :
In this article, the AA. examine urban political ecology (UPE) and African urbanism, specifically in South Africa. They suggest that this approach calls attention to the possibilities that emerge when starting with the everyday and considering diffuse forms of power. They show that such a situated UPE opens a conceptual space for understanding and developing a radical incrementalism based on, connected to, and drawn from particular socio-environmental conditions and situated ways of knowing.
