The implementation or urban governance politics on the level of actual processes of how things in cities are done, is sometimes overlooked in how questions of urban justice are addressed. This authors-meet-critics session discusses two books published in the IJURR-SUSC series, the book series connected to Research Committee 21, in recent years. Eduardo Marques' edited volume 'The Politics of Incremental Progressivism: Goverments, Governances and Urban Policy Changes in Sao Paulo' and Armelle Choplin's Concrete City: Material Flows and Urbanization in West-Africa' to debate the various ways in which governance and government agents produce urban (in)justices and the kind of knowledge on which they draw.
