A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Wacquant's treatment of the state's role in producing urban marginality rests on outdated assumptions about a centralised state operating uniformly across one nation's urban territories. More than a decade's worth of urban scholarship focuses on a process more productively labelled 'governance,' which points to the multiplex relations among government, business, nongovernmental organisations and hybrid organisational forms in the production of urban inequality. While Wacquant gestures towards these ideas, a greater engagement with the range of extant empirical work on this subject is warranted. [web URL: http://usj.sagepub.com/content/53/6/1095.abstract]
