Abstract: Abstract Critical urban theory took form in the late 1960s as a reaction to the naturalistic, technocratic, and politically neutral accounts of existing urban scholarship. This entry reviews the evolution of critical urban theory from its origins to the present day, drawing attention to the main theoretical sources in the different stages of its trajectory: from Weberian and structuralist‐Marxist studies and debates in the late 1960s and the 1970s, to French poststructuralism and the advent of a culturalized Marxism in the 1980s and the 1990s, up to postcolonial and neo‐Lefebvrian formulations within recent attempts at globalizing critical urban studies.
