Samenvatting
This chapter provides an overview of how different strategies of doing comparative urban studies (CUS) have been applied in global cities research (GCR). It situates the potential of GCR in the wider CUS agenda and cast them as complementary rather than antagonistic approaches to urban studies. The authors argue that GCR, strengthened by engaging with its critics, continues to offer sharp tools to understand key elements of wider processes of urban change. The chapter outlines how a research agenda concerned with the role of cities in post-industrial society and the geographical transfer of value has gradually morphed into a wider agenda on globalizing cities that can meaningfully speak to CUS concerns. Nevertheless, implicitly comparative studies can post-hoc be classified in a more contemporary comparative taxonomy distinguishing systems comparisons, typological comparisons and relational comparisons.
