Concepts, Contexts and Comparison in the Study of Urban Movements: A Reply to M Castells

Abstract

This reply to Castells's comment focuses on three central issues: the most appropriate concepts and typologies for understanding urban movements, the best way of characterizing the influence of the context in which movements develop, and the utility of comparative analysis. With a few exceptions, it is shown that in each case Castells's comment reflects misunderstandings and theoretical confusions, and docs not set out an effective alternative to the approach in the original paper.
