“…Assemblage methodologies emphasise provisional stabilisation, disassembly and reassembly (Baker and McGuirk, 2017), with Deleuzoguattarian ontology emphasising difference, change and transformation, and continual creation (Hillier and Abrahams, 2013). As such, Araabi and McDonald (2019) describe how assemblage thinking sheds light on the dynamic processes of continual urban reformation, helping enhance understanding of the ways in which the social and physical structures of cities emerge. Similarly, Kamalipour and Peimani (2015: 403) explain that assemblage thinking ‘has the capacity to provide theoretical and conceptual frameworks for exploring the complexity of the city problems and the processes through which urbanity emerges’, while McFarlane (2011) finds that assemblage theory signifies the city as an ongoing construction.…”
