However, in Australia, governance for heat risk management remains less developed than for other climate-related hazards, such as bushfires and floods, and is characterised by fragmented institutional arrangements. This paper examines the formation of the Greater Sydney Heat Taskforce and the co-design of Greater Sydney’s inaugural Heat Smart City Plan as a case through which to interrogate broader challenges in urban climate governance. Drawing on a participatory action research approach, the study analyses how multi-stakeholder governance arrangements emerge in contexts with limited legislative mandate, and how coordination, legitimacy, and shared ownership are constructed across diverse actors. The findings show that while the Taskforce generated progress—improving cross-sectoral understanding, clarifying roles, and building collaborative momentum—significant challenges remain. In particular, unresolved issues relating to resourcing, institutional capacity, and the evolving clarification of governance responsibilities continue to constrain implementation. The paper argues that governance for emerging risks such as extreme heat is shaped not only by formal institutional frameworks, but also by processes of co-design, negotiation, and knowledge co-production, which both enable coordination and challenge existing institutional capabilities. These insights have broader relevance for cities developing coordinated responses to complex climate risks.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rise and fall of the Alley Garden Project (AGP) show how decontextualized and depoliticized “participation” can entrench power hierarchies and enable the state to disregard its responsibilities. In global peripheries where state-society relations are not founded on a history of liberal democratic governance, global North models of urban development, even supposed grassroots methods such as placemaking, become “out-of-place” urban ideas that perpetuate the coloniality of globalized urban knowledge and design. Yangon’s AGP serves as a cautionary tale of responsibilization, not under conditions of state and capital withdrawal as seen in neoliberal urbanism, but under increasing state engagement as a new government tried to overcome decades of authoritarian rule. As shown in this article, international placemakers as non-state actors can exert disproportionate influence on urban design and policy in global South cities and this globalized practice requires critical attention.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"235 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It locates the urban in these small coastal municipalities in an uneven regional process through which roads, pipes, administrative concentration, development promises and extractive projects reorganise water, territory and collective life. From this starting point, the article examines water rituals, rain petitions and shared narrative practices across Xochistlahuaca, Ometepec, Cuajinicuilapa and Azoyú to show how commoning persists through interruption, absence and return. The commons appears through ritual labour, memory, translation and refusal, which sustain relations that exceed state legibility while retaining material force. In doing so, the article contributes to debates on the urban commons by showing how commoning in small-city and regional contexts is shaped by infrastructural unevenness, ecological strain and colonial histories of erasure. I offer the spectral urban commons as a sensitising concept for commoning held in interruption, materially organised through ritual labour, distributed custodianship and contested return, yet never fully secured as property or institution.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three representational stages are identified, namely speculative emergence, infrastructural saturation and platform obsolescence, through which digital nomad urbanism operates primarily through aestheticisation. This aesthetic work may precede and participate in conditioning material transformation, whilst its representational traces can persist after algorithmic attention recedes. Cities enter representational obsolescence when their narratives cease generating algorithmic momentum, a process that reveals digital nomadism as extractive visibility: appropriating urban difference for affective circulation whilst obscuring its consequences for long-term and less-mobile residents. The analysis extends postcolonial critique to account for temporal extraction, showing how digital colonialism operates through cycles of discovery, commodification and abandonment that intensify existing global inequalities.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on participatory action research conducted between 2020 and 2024, we apply a feminist perspective on community kitchens as urban food commons. In a city marked by extreme and racialised spatial inequalities, these women-led initiatives respond to chronic food insecurity, gender-based violence (GBV) and persistent gang violence, through care and organising. Drawing on commoning as a transformative social paradigm, and on healing justice, we argue that community kitchens in Cape Town serve both as pragmatic responses to chronic food insecurity and as sites of embodied healing, addressing intergenerational trauma, systemic neglect and violence. These spaces nourish more than bodies: They offer emotional and physical safety, (gender-based) violence prevention and moments of dignity amid structural abandonment. As such, these spaces serve as temporary safety nets and embody feminist commoning practices that recall traditions of caring while challenging extractive, colonial-capitalist urban systems. We also attend to the contradictions these spaces embody: the feminisation and extraction of care labour, the risk of state co-optation, and tensions between invisibility as protection and recognition as a political demand.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While place-based approaches centred on anchor institutions are often promoted as vehicles for equitable and community-led transitions, their effectiveness is shaped by broader multiscalar governance relations. The article develops a conceptual framework that integrates distributive, procedural, and restorative dimensions of climate justice within a multiscalar governance perspective, highlighting how transition governance unfolds across scale and time. Drawing on 26 interviews with officials from London local authorities, the article shows that while local authorities have emerged as key anchor institutions in transition governance – leading by example, influencing public and private sector behaviour, and fostering community buy-in – their ability to advance just transitions beyond their immediate locality is limited by higher-level governance processes. Austerity-driven reductions in public sector capacity, competitive funding structures, and the lack of clear national policy guidance have created a fragmented and uneven landscape of climate action, reinforcing spatial disparities across localities. It concludes that anchor-led place-based governance requires procedural, redistributive and restorative mechanisms embedded across scales of governance. The findings advance debates on transition governance, the “local trap,” and climate justice by clarifying how place-based transitions depend on multiscalar, redistributive governance architectures.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
