Preferred term

urban managerialism  

Definition

  • Urban managerialism originally was conceived as an analytical framework to consider the role of urban managers in the sociospatial processes of capitalist urbanization. It has also been used to denote a period in urban governance (usually seen as the 1970s and early 1980s) when the focus of urban governments was seen to be concerned predominantly with the provision of services or collective consumption.
