      Series Editors’ Preface

       IJURR Studies in Urban and Social Change Book Series

      The IJURR Studies in Urban and Social Change Book Series shares IJURR’s commitments to critical, global and politically relevant analyses of our urban worlds. Books in this series bring forward innovative theoretical approaches and present rigorous empirical work, deepening understandings of urbanisation processes, but also advancing critical insights in support of political action and change. The Book Series Editors appreciate the theoretically eclectic nature of the field of urban studies. It is a strength that we embrace and encourage. The editors are particularly interested in the following issues:

       Comparative urbanism

       Diversity, difference and neighbourhood change

       Environmental sustainability

       Financialisation and gentrification

       Governance and politics

       International migration

       Inequalities

       Urban and environmental movements

      The series is explicitly interdisciplinary; the editors judge books by their con‐ tribution to the field of critical urban studies rather than according to dis‐ ciplinary origin. We are committed to publishing studies with themes and formats that reflect the many different voices and practices in the field of urban studies. Proposals may be submitted to editor in chief, Walter Nicholls ([email protected]), and further information about the series can be found at www.ijurr.org.

      First and foremost, I wish to thank the five institutions and two particular individuals that were crucial for making this work possible. The Alexander von Humboldt foundation granted me a Feodor Lynen Stipend, which allowed me to dedicate my time to this project and to conduct empirical work abroad. This work would have been all but impossible without the patience and encouragement of my employer, the Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS), which granted me the time necessary to research and write this book and supported this detour from everyday business. Finally, and most importantly I wish to thank my two hosts in London and St Petersburg. Without the dedicated and continued support from Claire Colomb and the Bartlett School of Planning at the University College of London, the whole project would have never taken place. The same goes for Oleg Pachenkov and both the Centre for Independent Social Research (CISR) and the European University of St Petersburg. More than once, I was deeply impressed by the enthusiasm, reliability and imagination with which these magnificent colleagues supported my work. Both Claire and Oleg provided invaluable intellectual conversations and great company, which helped me along the cliffs of the project.

      Numerous people assisted in the data collection and interviews or shaped the book by providing comments, ideas and background information in all three cities researched. I am very grateful to all of them. My debts here are too numerous to be listed in full. I extend thanks, in particular, to Michael Edwards, Michael Hebbert, Loretta Lees, Tim Butler, Chris Hamnett, Peter Williams, Alan Mace, Paul Watt, Duncan Bowie, Mike Raco, Jennifer Robinson, Hyun Bang Shin, Antoine Paccoud and all the other scholars who supported me in London.

      My greatest thanks go also to Lilia Voronkova, Thomas Campbell, Dimitri Vorobyev, Irina Shirobokova, Katya Korableva and the other participants of the ‘Research Laboratory’, as well as to Anna Zhelnina and Konstantin Axënov, who all guided my way through St Petersburg. I am also grateful to Oleg Golubchikov for helpful comments on the matter of gentrification in Russia.
