Uneven Urbanisation: Connecting Flows of Water to Flows of Labour and Capital Through Jakarta's Flood Infrastructure

This article analyses processes of uneven urbanisation by looking at flood infrastructure. Combining the conceptual frameworks of uneven development with the political ecology of urbanisation, we use flood infrastructure as a methodological device to trace the processes through which unevenness occurs within, but also far beyond, the city of Jakarta, Indonesia. We do this to show how the development of flood infrastructure in Jakarta is shaped by the logic of capitalism through mutually implicated tendencies of socionatural differentiation and equalisation. These processes render waters, resources and labour as similar across places and times to produce different spaces for different populations, within and beyond city boundaries. This theorisation reveals how the urban inequalities (re)produced by flood infrastructure are intimately linked to inequalities (re)produced through the urbanisation of the non-city

Farming and the city:the changing imaginary of the city and Maputo’s irrigated urban agriculture from 1960 to 2020

Irrigated urban agriculture using various water sources has been consistently present throughout Maputo’s history. Grounded in Infulene Valley, we delve into how urban planning has evolved since 1960 and trace the implications of these policies on urban farming and the livelihoods dependent on it. Documenting the imaginaries of the city over four eras of Maputo’s development, we find that agriculture occupied a prominent place in the post-colonial city, and continues to be significant, despite its vague recognition within urban planning, after the shift to neoliberalism. We advocate for acknowledging urban irrigated agriculture as an intrinsic feature of the city.</p
