The January 2017 issue of IJURR includes a symposium on urban politics, and a series of articles on urban networks and infrastructures. The symposium, entitled ‘Radical urban politics: theorizing the politicizing city’, considers the implications of insurrectional movements for radical urban political theory and practice in the wake of uprisings that have defined our so-called urban age. With articles on the Turkish uprising, Tunisian revolution, housing rights mobilisation in Spain, and squares movement in Greece, this symposium puts the political at the heart of critical urban theory. The articles that follow the symposium shift the focus to networks and infrastructures, again with a rich geographical variety. From urban operating systems signalling computational urban governance futures to the contradictions of water supply and sanitation systems in Dar es Salaam, from undemocratic aspects of infrastructure investment in Maputo to infrastructural solidarity in Bogotá and to experimental infrastructures in Quito, these articles make a significant contribution to debates around urban networks and infrastructures, both theoretically and empirically.
