Abstract

Drawing upon the scholarship in historical-comparative sociology, this article presents some guidelines for theoretically structured urban comparison by spotlighting four methodological issues: case selection, causality, historical analyses and wider implications. This is demonstrated with a comparative analysis of air pollution control in Beijing and Delhi. The analysis finds that Beijing’s clean air campaign features a territorial logic, centring on territorial institutions and authorities, while Delhi’s clean air campaign features an associational logic, led by environmental NGOs in conjunction with the judiciary.
