“…They are, therefore, primarily driven by a desire to possess and settle the land in perpetuity, in addition to benefiting from new opportunities to accumulate. Of course, such efforts are never undertaken in a social vacuum and because the territories claimed by settler colonists are used and occupied by Indigenous people, the imposition of settler‐colonial orders necessarily requires explicit forms of territorial alienation (Wolfe, ), as well as cultural forms of disavowal (Barker, Rollo, & Battell Lowman, ; Fortier, ; Mackey, ; Veracini, ). “Supersession,” or the “displacement of Indigenous peoples and their replacement with settlers,” is thus the “central dynamic” of settler‐colonization (Edmonds, , p. 5).…”

What is a “settler‐colonial city” and how does it differ from other forms of imperial urban spatial organization? This article seeks to answer these questions by attempting to urbanize recent insights in settler‐colonial theory. It begins by considering well‐established theorizations of the “colonial city”—particularly those developed by geographers and urbanists in the 1970s and 1980s—in order to assess their suitability for analyses of contemporary settler‐colonial milieu. Building on this discussion, the paper asks if and how the insights of settler‐colonial theory offer new opportunities to renovate earlier theorizations in ways that are more explicitly relevant to making sense of the urban process in North America and other societies where colonists have “come to stay” and no formal process of decolonization has unfolded.
