‘C.P. Pow: Selected Essays’ is now available through the Urban Studies Foundation. It includes some of Pow's most incisive and quietly radical work on the urban. I had the privilege of writing the introduction – a small gesture of respect for a scholar whose absence since 2021 is still deeply felt.
