Geography and political economy: Reflections by a geography convert
During my studies in Political Economy at the University of Sydney in the late 1980s/early 1990s, Frank Stilwell taught a class on 'The Political Economy of Cities and Regions'. Among the readings were pieces by David Harvey, Manuel Castells, and draft chapters of Frank’s 'Understanding Cities and Regions: Spatial Political Economy', published shortly afterwards as a book (Stilwell 1992). It was a brilliant class. As someone who had been turned on to radical politics when my dad sat me down to watch Pat Fiske’s documentary Rocking the Foundations about Sydney’s green ban movement (see Iveson 2014), the attention to cities and regions really floated my boat. For me, it inflamed an on-going interest in urban politics, while agitating me to develop my understanding of the political economy of the urban process.

Recovering the politics of the city
This paper uses Jacque Rancière's understanding of politics to ask what makes cities political entities. We review existing urban geography debates to identify some of the defining features of urban politics and then subject them to critical questioning: are they actually political? The paper seeks to develop existing interpretations of Rancière's philosophy within geography to develop his ‘method of equality’ in order to recover the politics of the city. This identifies three necessary components of critical urban scholarship in order that it transcends critique and works towards making democratic politics possible.
