This article analyzes the Urban Political Ecology (UPE) literature as an interdisciplinary field of research by examining its emerging ideas and concepts. This literature urges new discussions regarding the concept of the city, the urban-rural distinction, the methodology problem with comprehensive empirical analyses. Despite this, there are still gaps in understanding social transformations and changes with the concepts of cyborg, planetary urbanization, metobolism, hybrid and so on. This article addresses these constraints by means of the concepts and discussions revealed within the literature of UPE. Therefore, by mobilizing the term of milieu, which is largely ignored in theoretical discussions within UPE, this article aims to contribute to the conceptual and empirical problems of the UPE literature. First, this paper analyzes the urban political ecology research program with different theoretical frameworks, different problem areas and different forms of conceptualization. Second, it examines the theoretical debates in the last 15 years. Third, the concept of milieu is addressed in order to contribute to these discussions. The study follows a research methodology based on secondary sources, since it includes a theoretical discussion.
