ABSTRACT This commentary outlines some of the key contributions of this special issue to the field of STS and the city. It highlights the following three issues: (1) the special issue adds to an empirical and theoretical enrichment of the notion of urban techno-politics and (2) it contributes to a broadening of the notion of urban obduracy as a form of resistance to change, by including attention to power dynamics and imaginaries and (3) it includes an interesting plea for studying cities as sites where the local, national and global level intersect or clash. This commentary argues that, by opening up ‘the urban’ to STS concepts applied in other contexts and fields of research, new innovative research directions come within reach.

STS和城市：技术政治，伪装和全球化

摘要本评论概述了本期特刊对STS和城市领域的一些重要贡献。它着重指出了以下三个问题：（1）特殊问题为城市技术政治概念的实证和理论补充提供了内容；（2）它有助于扩大城市顽固性概念，将其作为抗拒变革的一种形式通过关注动力动力学和虚构，以及（3）它包括一个有趣的请求，将城市研究为地方，国家和全球层面相交或冲突的场所。这篇评论认为，通过将“城市”开放给在其他研究领域和领域中应用的STS概念，可以找到新的创新研究方向。
