There is still far to go in understanding the political implications of the suburbs – and suburbanisms – as socio-political interstices within a rapidly urbanizing planet. This article seeks to further this objective by putting into conversation the approaches of two key thinkers and applying them to a conceptual analyses of differential (sub)urbanity: Michel Foucault and Henri Lefebvre.
