Gordon MacLeod’s research examines how the emerging urban world is managed through new horizons of governance that increasingly appear to solicit land privatization and the dislocation of vulnerable communities from housing and place; a close examination of who governs cities and metropolitan regions, and how these arrangements are shaping a scandalously uneven distribution of wealth, jobs, housing, infrastructure, and services; and, further, how these ecologies are shaped by the shifting geography of state power and the political struggles that unfold around questions of distribution, justice, territory and identity. His interest in these domains feature in a number of academic journals, including Antipode, City, Environment and Planning A, Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, Geoforum, Geografiska Annaler B, European Urban and Regional Studies, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Progress in Human Geography, Regional Studies, Society and Space, Space and Polity, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, and Urban Studies. MacLeod’s research has been funded by the ESRC, British Academy, and the Leverhulme Trust.
