Neil Brenner is Professor of Urban Theory at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD), where he serves as Director of the Urban Theory Lab (UTL). Details of our work, including publications and videos of various lectures, can be found at: urbantheorylab.netBrenner's writing and teaching focus on the theoretical, conceptual and methodological dimensions of urban questions. His work builds upon, and seeks to extend, the fields of critical urban and regional studies, comparative geopolitical economy and radical sociospatial theory. Major research foci include processes of urban and regional restructuring and uneven spatial development; the generalization of capitalist urbanization; and processes of state spatial restructuring, with particular reference to the remaking of urban, metropolitan and regional governance configurations under contemporary neoliberalizing capitalism.
