Abstract: The papers in this Special Issue of Urban Studies consider, in their contrasting ways, the spatialities of disability and disabled people's barriered and bounded lives. The papers provide a range of insights into geographies of identity formation, while seeking to (re)assert the power of territoriality by putting "the place (and historical specificity) back into displacement" (Bammer, 1994, p. xiv; quoted in Pratt, 1998, p. 27). This introduction describes the main themes of the Special Issue and develops the argument that geographers and scholars of urban studies ought to develop a more active interest in the diverse and multiple geographies of disability.
