Geography and political economy: Reflections by a geography convert
2025
Overview
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.
