There are multiple scales of political authority/governance. There is international, regional, global, national, subnational, local, and urban. State is one among many actors operating on an urban scale. What is suburban now can be an urban centre in the future, what is periurban can be suburban; they are changing boundaries. Every city and its systems/institutions are all different. Urban politics is the political institutional arrangements that governs the spatial scale.
