Previously published as a special issue of Policy Studies, this volume demonstrates the vitality of the field of urban politics and presents future challenges for urban political research in the years ahead.If it does not already, the population of cities will very soon make up more than half the global population. As the global urban population continues to expand, the challenges facing urban politics grow with it. How do we understand the relationship between politics and urban policy?

AbstractDespite the turn to relational vocabularies in urban theory, most work on urban politics acknowledging the importance of media has tended to reproduce a centred image of 'the media' and a functionalist account of mediation. This essay suggests, by contrast, that media might be understood more phenomenologically, as those technologies embedded in the dispersed practices of urban life, and as assemblages of integrative practices (i.e. 'the media'), both of which identify and subject to action a range of issues that are problematized as 'urban'. Such a focus on media‐in‐practices is an important shift in perspective for research hoping to bring together the shared political concerns of urban and media studies, and to take advantage of the converging spatial imaginations and reconfigured understandings of mediation emerging across both fields.Résumé Même si la théorie urbaine a adopté une terminologie du relationnel, la plupart des travaux de politique urbaine qui admettent l'importance des médias reproduisent plutôt une image centrifuge des 'médias' et une explication fonctionnaliste de la médiation. Ce texte suggère a contrario que l'on peut appréhender les médias sur un plan plus phénoménologique, en les considérant comme les technologies intégrées aux pratiques dispersées de la vie urbaine et comme des combinaisons de pratiques permettant l'agrégation (autrement dit, des 'médias'), les deux aspects définissant, et exposant à une action, toute une série de problèmes qualifiés d'urbains. Un tel intérêt pour 'les médias dans leurs pratiques' constitue un important revirement de point de vue pour les recherches qui espèrent réunir les préoccupations politiques communes des études urbaines et des études sur les médias, tout en exploitant la convergence des imaginaires spatiaux et les reformulations de la médiation qui apparaissent dans les deux domaines.
