Summary

This chapter revisits the central claims and findings from the comparison of twentieth-century contentious politics in Shanghai and Bombay. While some spatial forms endured in terms of location and meaning – civic spaces, industrial districts, low-income housing – in other respects, the transformations in urban political geography sorted different groups and brought about changes to the character of urban citizenship and to forms of contentious politics. Changes in urban political geography reconfigured the always uneven nature of urban citizenship, but also opened the door for new contentious claims based on differential urban citizenship. This chapter also highlights the ways in which recent changes in urban political geography have disconnected workplace and residence through deindustrialization, the demolition of central city housing, and the relocation of inner city residents. Such changes, while spawning occasional protests over questions of residence and work, have in the long run reduced prospects for workplace and residence to congeal into political movements of the sort found earlier in the century.
