Misled ideologies and political correctness: Local communities versus rural-urban migrants in Asian urban studies
Abstract As urban studies are local, understanding locality is fundamental. Ideologies and political correctness are inevitable, but these cannot take centre stage for urban studies. Informal housing and rural-rural inequality are presented as two cases to illustrate different urban research agendas between the Global North and South. Because of conditions of continuous rural-urban migration and high density in Asia, naïve perception of urban issues in Asia from the perspective of the developed countries is ridiculous. Ignoring the empirical facts because these do not fit into prevalent ideologies is ignorant, and it is not progressive in pushing the knowledge frontiers of urban studies.
