Abstract: This article analyses the phenomenon of urban expertise in Russian cities, urbanistika, a term used to describe activities related to urban planning and decision-making. The creation of this field of knowledge coincided with increased public interest in expert assessment. The analysis focuses on an activist group involved in urban redevelopment projects in St Petersburg in 2012–2019. Using the insights of the literature on the sociology of expertise combined with urban studies scholarship, the study sets out to uncover the mechanisms by which civic urban expertise is constructed and to contextualise the global and local conditions in which such activity was shaped. The methodological approach tracks the process by which the network is created that allows for urban questions to become the objects of expert labour.
