Cities are increasingly proactive in defining their own visions of 'development', and in using the municipal state to pursue those visions. This marks a fundamental distinction in the logics of urban governance, between reactive forms of neoliberal urbanism and proactive forms of 'developmental' urbanism. There is thus a pressing need to understand the developmental dimensions of urban governance, especially as municipal states pursue more prominent roles in international governance through state-led investment and transnational city-to-city geopolitical networks. I contribute an urban political analysis which traces developmentalism through a study of policy experiments, based on the governance of sports 'megaevents' like the Olympics. I draw on a comparative study of cities' bids to host megaevents, and by extension their experiments in pursuing 'event-led development'. I argue that cities' use of events to define and purse urban development is simultaneously developmental and experimental: Text analysis and institutional network mapping are used to evaluate why bids are used to proactively articulate multi-scalar and multi-sector definitions of development. I trace how bidders experimentally construct those definitions by borrowing from other cities, as they recycle components from failed bids and other megaevents. Experiments in urban development are typically interpreted as isolated events: as individual projects plugged in to broader governance agendas in instrumental fashion. This study allows a more nuanced approach: I show that experiments in development planning are strategically coordinated with each other as part of ideological agendas in urban politics. This has a recursive effect on governance as the definitions of event-led development which motivate an experiment also evolve in response to it. This contributes to debates in urban geography and development studies over the role of cities in development governance, especially in theorizing forms of urban governance which parallel and diverge from the neoliberal. My focus on experiments allows a distinction between the logics and tactics of urban governance, interpreting how governance experiments are deployed towards various ideological ends. It also avoids the scalar-determinism of dominant narratives about state-led urban development, considering not only decentralization of national states into cities but also upscaling and translocal networking by municipal states.
