This brief article serves as an introduction to the five articles of this special issue which developed from the Exploratory Workshop: Urban Governance and its Disorders: Corruption in the Cities held at the Centre for Urban History, University of Leicester on the 27 April 2018 and sponsored by the International Journal of Regional and Local History. I should like to thank Professor Krista Cowman (University of Lincoln) and Professor Simon Gunn (University of Leicester) for their support in making the workshop possible and also to sponsor this collection of articles in this special issue.
