This collection creatively and incisively reveals how centering social reproduction as theory and method reshapes the social ontology of the urban. Across sites and scales, an international group of authors offer compelling and original analyses of the material social practices and struggles that make social reproduction such a resonant frame to reimagine and remake urban social life so that it sings with possibility.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCindi Katz, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Environmental Psychology at The City University of New York, Graduate Center, USA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat does a feminist urban theory look like for the twenty first century? This book puts knowledges of feminist urban scholars, feminist scholars of social reproduction, and other urban theorists into conversation to propose an approach to the urban that recognises social reproduction both as foundational to urban transformations and as a methodological entry-point for urban studies. This approach remains intentionally cautious of universal uses of social reproduction theory, instead focusing analytical attention on historical contingency and social difference. The eleven contributions to this volume address distinct elements of contemporary urban crises in social reproduction through the lenses of infrastructure and subjectivity formation as well as through feminist efforts to decolonize urban knowledge production. Collectively, the chapters serve to deepen understandings of how people shape and reshape the spatial forms of their everyday lives, furthering understandings of the 'infinite variety' of the urban.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinda Peake\u003c\/b\u003e is Principal Investigator on the SSHRC Partnership Grant, \u003ci\u003eUrbanization, Gender and the Global South: A Transformative Knowledge Network\u003c\/i\u003e (GenUrb) and Director of the City Institute at York University, Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElsa Koleth\u003c\/b\u003e is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the SSHRC Partnership Project \u003ci\u003eUrbanization, Gender and the Global South: A Transformative Knowledge Network\u003c\/i\u003e (GenUrb) at the City Institute at York University, Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGökbörü Sarp Tanyildiz\u003c\/b\u003e is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Brock University, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRajyashree N.
