Abstract
This article outlines key strengths in development geography arguing for a plural understanding of development geographies rooted in different traditions, schools of thought and generated by place and history-specific interests and diverse policy and interdisciplinary forms of engagement. It highlights development geographies' contribution to debates on participatory methods and argues that current research funding regimes are likely negatively to affect how development research knowledges are being produced. This article outlines three productive interfaces within geography around postcolonial, urban, and political agendas in development which are helping to make sense of the rapidly changing global contexts of development and inequality.
