His work has the characteristic depth of historical investigation and the immediacy of street-based observation and digital dialogue. In this session,editors of CITY, building on work in the journal, consider Mason’s overall approach and its relevance for analysis, action and outcome. They do so in the light of his subsequent updates, including the second edition, Why it’s still kicking off everywhere (Verso, 2013), on the progress of ‘the newglobal revolution’: it ‘finally has to concretise into a programme, a coherent vision. If it doesn’t…there are plenty of other forces of coherence.’ The session will explore why it’s kicking off everywhere, and how the ‘new global revolutions’ might go forward.

CITY Perspectives (1)5263 Emerging Cities of the Third Wave
Saturday 13 April10:00 - 11:40am
Pacific Ballroom Salon 3, The LA Hotel, Level 2OrganisersBob Catterall, CITY Anna Richter, Leibniz Institute
ChairBob Catterall, CITY
PanelistsAllen Scott, University of California-Los Angeles Ed Soja, University of California-Los AngelesSharon Meagher, University of ScrantonElvin Wyly, University of British Columbia
In his seminal paper, ‘Emerging Cities of the Third Wave’ (CITY, 15.3-4, 2011), Allen Scott has argued that ‘the logic of urban change today is intertwined with the evolution of a globalizing cognitive-cultural capitalism in the context of a dominantly neoliberal policy failure.’ ‘The accumulating failures of neoliberal approaches’, he concludes, ‘suggest that the need for a new dispensation is now pressing’, and he proceeds to briefly indicate, drawing on his analysis of the third wave, what this new dispensation would involve.
The paper serves as a basis for this session in which the two leading members, Allen Scott and Ed Soja, of what was once characterized as ‘the LA School’, consider the paper in and beyond its place of origin. They are joined by Elvin Wyly and Sharon Meagher, two editors of the journal CITY, whose first issue was entitled ‘It all comes together in Los Angeles’.
