Colin McFarlane is Lecturer in Human Geography at Durham University, UK. His research focuses on urban geography, especially theorising the intersections between urban inequality, materiality, and knowledge.

Learning the City: Translocal Assemblage and Urban Politics critically examines the relationship between knowledge, learning, and urban politics, arguing both for the centrality of learning for political strategies and developing a progressive international urbanism.
* Presents a distinct approach to conceptualising the city through the lens of urban learning
* Integrates fieldwork conducted in Mumbai's informal settlements with debates on urban policy, political economy, and development
* Considers how knowledge and learning are conceived and created in cities
* Addresses the way knowledge travels and opportunities for learning about urbanism between North and South
