“…While assemblage analytics refuse to attribute the obduracy of particular assemblages to linear causality and determination (Fuller ), they reveal assemblages as arrangements that ‘create agents…allowing us to trace relationships of domination as they are dynamically established’ (Caliskan and Callon , 8–9) . This insight reveals how ‘structural processes’ are shaped through obduracy and enabled to repeatedly ‘stitch in’ patterns of outcomes (Jacobs ).…”

“…This wider prism can account for the diversity of forces at work by making visible the various human and non‐human alliances that create regeneration. But it also allows the complexity of processes involved, as these alliances that connect the embodied, technical, practical and affective become available for analysis (Jacobs ). Such analysis is resourced by assemblage thinking to traverse categorical boundaries (human/artefact, social/natural) and to prise open processes, categories and blackboxed accounts of their dynamics (Acuto ; Müller ).…”

In critical urban studies, managed urban regeneration has been linked to trajectories of neo-liberalising urban policy and urban entrepreneurialism. While the insights arising from this work have been many and valuable, significant gaps remain particularly in terms of the foci of analysis and the conception of politics. In this paper, we aim to address these gaps and to reposition the conceptualization of regeneration as a performed and emergent consequence of 'relatedness' and as subject to a range of relational effects and determinations. To do so we work through four capacities of assemblage thinking that are particularly productive for this task: (i) revealing the relational, multiple and processual nature of urban trajectories; (ii) revealing the multi-scalar labouring involved in configuring the (socio-material) assemblages that constitute regeneration; (iii) identifying openings for multiple possible trajectories of regeneration; (iv) providing critical insights into how regeneration trajectories are constrained. We conclude with ref lections on what assemblage thinking offers in terms of critically and generatively rethinking urban regeneration.

“…A key effect of this analytical move to contingency, context, and hybridity has been to migrate one of the central research questions driving political economy analyses from the ‘big why’ of urban politics to the ‘hows’ of urban politics (paraphrasing Jacobs, 2008a). This move has drawn much more careful attention to the agency of urban actors and the consequential role of key players and personalities, for example, McNeill's (2003) treatment of the role of urban mayors; the operation of multiple motivations, negotiations, and legitimisations within governing authorities, for example, Jones et al .…”

This paper deals with urban political geographies and, most particularly, with political economy perspectives on urban politics. It offers an account that narrates what I see as influential pathways and intersections, theoretical debates, and methodological developments that have shaped contemporary urban political geographies in this vein since the 1970s, including: the 'new urban politics', intersections with postmodernism, and postcolonialism; urban neoliberalism and the contingency of urban politics; and, most recently, poststructural political economy and the notion of assemblage. This leads me to trace the implications of the shift in understanding from urban political geography to geographies of urban politics, and the growing emphasis on practice, contingency, relationality, and assemblage that accompany this shift. I conclude with reflections on new directions, new productive questions and tensions, and on the knowledge politics of how we do and might do contemporary urban political geographies.
