Overview

A postcolonial examination of co-production as an urban development strategy. In urban development, co-production refers to a strategy that prioritizes collaboration across multiple institutions and with citizens, aiming to enable conflict resolution and transformative change. However, critics contend that these theoretical ambitions often have limited practical impact. Co-production of Knowledge in Action examines how co-production is articulated and deployed in cities such as Lima, Freetown, Kampala, Dar es Salaam, and Delhi. It engages with ongoing experiences of co-production-inspired action, mapping the different aspirations that inform co-production practices and their impacts on urban communities. Critiquing co-production strategies for urban development in relation to practical experiences in these cities, this volume adopts a postcolonial approach to knowledge production as a means to transform urban planning practices.
