Abstract
ABSTRACT The scholarship on waste governance tends to consider it a standalone policy area. This article seeks to enrich this scholarship by attending to relationships between waste governance, the transformation of waste spaces, and capitalist urban planning and development practices. I draw on the notion of eviscerating urbanization to argue that metropolitan and waste governance act as mechanisms to capture value from waste and land simultaneously. I present original research from Ankara, Turkey, and I narrate the evolving relationship between the waste disposal system and urban transformation in the early 2000s. The findings reveal the strategic role and agency of metropolitan governance in the processes of value production.
