“…Indeed, scholars of policy in general, and policy mobilities in particular, would benefit from continued engagement with other disciplines. Harris and Moore's () symposium on planning and policy mobilities, as well as Quark's () detailed analysis of the cotton standards war in the late‐eighteenth and early‐nineteenth centuries, exhibit the breadth and depth of these possibilities (see also Shore et al ., ; Söderström and Geertman, ; Bunnell, ; Cohen, ). This recent volley of work illustrates richly detailed engagement with other disciplines, and attends to the critiques frequently levelled at policy mobilities approaches.…”

Attending to the recent and growing debates on urban policy mobilities, this commentary offers a view towards an intellectual and methodological reflexiveness for urban policy mobilities researchers. We consider connections between the various approaches and considerations that researchers have argued for in regards to doing policy mobilities research. In doing so, we argue that new pathways for research can be usefully carved out through attention to embodiment, or a peopling of the geographies of policy mobilities.

“…Four are worth briefly highlighting here. First, there is an attention to how urban policymaking sometimes involves making comparisons with, and reference to, elsewhere, as a form of inter‐urban referencing (Ong, ; Bunnell, ). The use of the term ‘scanning’ is invoked to capture how those involved in the making of policy look to other cities.…”

Recent years have seen the emergence of two interrelated strands of work in the field of English‐speaking urban studies. The first has centred on rethinking notions of place along relational lines. The second centres on rethinking what an attention to the city in the world might mean for understanding the arriving at and making up of urban policy. Taking its cue from the intersection of these two strands, this article explores the forging of Edinburgh's tax increment financing (TIF) policy. It highlights how those in the city drew upon experiences from elsewhere (both relatively close to home and further afield) in assembling the policy and the particular ‘local’ politics over its translation/adoption/failed introduction. The article argues for an approach to urban policy mobility studies which is sensitive both to the ephemeral, indeterminate and open‐ended ways in which policies are arrived at and made up, and the segmented and structured contexts that inform how policies appear and reappear in multiple locations.

“…In doing so, they show how governance is produced not only from the 'top down', through the actions of the state and business elites, but also, and increasingly, from the 'bottom up', through the actions of variously 'responsibilised' groups of urban residents. Tim Bunnell's (2015) contribution resonates with this approach by addressing recent work in policy mobilities (Cook, 2008;McCann, 2011;McCann and Ward, 2011;Peck and Theodore, 2015). This approach analyses how governance is produced through circuits of mobilised ideas, models and policy expertise.…”

Governing urbanism: Urban governance studies 1.0, 2.0 and beyond

Governance has been a key concept in urban studies since the late 1980s. This paper reflects on its use and development over the past 25 years and identifies contemporary innovations and concerns that will likely define the future of urban governance studies. The paper argues that to fully understand the impacts of governance approaches on our understanding of cities, urban regions and global urbanism, we must address how urbanism, rather than urbanisation, is governed. An attention to urbanism highlights a wider range of scholarly work on how the mutually constitutive relationships between the development of built environments and the identities, practices, struggles and opportunities of everyday social life are governed. In introducing 15 contributions from the archives of Urban Studies, the paper employs a heuristic framing -urban governance studies (UGS) 1.0, 2.0, and beyond -to show that, while governance as a contemporary critical concept gained prominence through the work of Marxian political economists concerned largely with urbanisation (UGS 1.0), other work, analysing the governance of other aspects of urbanism, including identity and citizenship (UGS 2.0), also has a significant history. The paper then points to ways in which urban governance studies grapple with future-defining challenges, such as climate change, and new framings, such as the 'smart city', while extending the scope of their analyses both temporally and spatially. The paper concludes by pointing to gaps and potential topics for ongoing attention.Keywords governance, politics, urban studies, urbanisation, urbanism Urban studies and Urban Studies have long focused on studying the diverse and complex array of built environments and social relations that constitute urbanism. Urbanism, in this context, connotes the widest sense of the urban, addressing not only urbanisation and development but also ways of life that define urban areas in specific historical periods. An attention to urbanism, rather than simply urbanisation, helps maintain a focus on the mutually constitutive relationships between
