Abstract: Urban scholarship has been complicit in perpetuating a western superiority in our understanding of city making processes. This Special Feature hosts a variegated collection of pieces that engage with the repertoires used across ordinary cities to counteract the epistemic violence exerted by the coloniality of power. We argue that decolonising urban knowledges requires a fierce opposition to the spiral of multiple violences experienced in everyday life of racialised, subaltern and marginalised groups, recasting the modes of knowledge production inspired by politics of care and reciprocity while pluralising the sites of engagement, expanding disruptive urban pedagogies and pluriversal designs.
