The book gathers debates from the Global South to offers fragments of the urban that provide clues to the larger, often-repeated ontological question that continues to hold: why and what does theory from the South mean? Deriving from and speaking to the simultaneously homogenous and heterogeneous South, the Chapters explore locally rooted knowledge systems, premised on social and cultural practices, as possible conduits to evolving planning methods and theory.
