Capital relates to cities in all kinds of ways. Cities can both represent capitalism in its most virtuous state, or be the site of its rapid degeneration. As sites for massive volumes of capital accumulation as well as centres of concentrated poverty and hotspots of resistance, it should come as no surprise that Marxist studie of urban processes have come in various forms. But what unites them is that theyexist within a tension between the ‘urban’ and the political economy at large.
